Well the weather is not really getting any better here. It was 80* yesterday and 83* right now with a heat index of 85 may hit 85* in a bit. Was sweating in the car today cause I don't like running the AC if I don't have to. Back out to work on the laundry room. More pics to come. Here is the latest one though. http://s97.photobucket.com/albums/l206/elcam84/new%20house/?action=view¤t=028.jpg I have a half sheet already installed in that corner. As you can see I also add blocking between the joists and up against the rim joist. This just makes it a little stronger and gives more support to the wall above it. The floor is pretty stiff as is but I may add another layer of 1/2" before the 1/4" hardi board and tile. The 3/4 is under the walls and I may run the 1/2" under them as well and shorten the wall a little (the studs are too long at 94.5 anyway). Been debating how I want to do the floors as in how thick. The kitchen is planned to be solid wood. The house has 7/8 tongue and groove for it's base subfloor which is hard to equal up to these days and most of the house has 3/4 and some places have another 1/4" underlayment. goofy Robert Adams
