Back out to work on the laundry room. More pics
to come. Here is the latest one though.

looks real good! Is there a reason you didn't use joist hangers? Just
wondering. Having just mopped up a puddle from Mr. Washing machine, are
you going to put a pan under yours? 7/8 is pretty thick for a floor.
More than you would get today. Think I'd measure how thick the floor
needs to be to be level with the rest of the house (taking into account
the tile), then divide by two and put one layer north/south and the
other east/west. All the weight is under the washing machine, the rest
is just light use so you could probably reinforce just under there,
maybe sister a joist onto another? I wouldn't worry too much about it
- houses don't have bomb shelters anymore.
Can't help on the weather thing - here is rainy, high 30's to 40's with
an occasional snow dusting. Little hail, too. A windstorm last Friday
night knocked out the power (Ellie stumbled around in the dark the whole
time) but only brought down a lot of limbs, no trees or damage. Typical
for December.

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
Rules: Please play nicely with others.
