I can but I have to notch all the floor joists for the
hanger since the joists sit on the sill plate. If I don't notch it the
joists would stick up a little higher than the rim joist. And I can't
block between at the rim joist because the hanger is in the way. the
floor joist has about 4" of sill plate at each end to hold it up.
well, that makes sense. It would be a whole lot more work to use them
and probably not add anything.
I'm going to stack the washer and dryer as it takes up
allot less room and allows me to put a small room for a toilet. The
whole laundry room will be tiled and I am putting in floor drains as
well. So if something pukes water it has somewhere to go.
sounds like a plan.
The old as in really old subfloor is 1x4 tongue and groove
and measures right at 7/8 Over that is another layer of 3/4 in most
places.. Today most builders put the floor joists on 24" centers
using wood I beams and a layer of 3/4 OSB or ply the better builders
will use 2 layers of 3/4 and sometimes 16" spacing.
I do not think houses today are very well built. I don't think they
consider that someone is going to come along and rip up the cheap
flooring and install tile or hardwood.
I love marble doorsteps. So much nicer than the aluminum ones.
excellent choice. And I will give you my secret for tile patterns -
quilt block patterns.
I hate dog doors, kinda like cutting a thief door. I prefer 200 lbs of
dog trying to break down the door from inside when a bad person is
standing on the outside.
how's that weather doing?
