Section 1 Subfloor

While on our jobsite we refer to the different areas of the house by sections not by individual rooms.  We have 3 sections; Section 1 is the Great Room, Section 2 is the Kitchen/Dinning/and Office, Section 3 is John's Bedroom/Bathroom and the Laundry/Mechanical rooms. 

We also refer to each wall by a specific letter (A-L).  This may seem strange to some, but for us it cuts down on the confusion.

 

So in section 1 we now have the subfloor down, we used 3/4" plywood, and we screwed the sheets down to the joists.









 After all of the plywood was down we went back and put silicone caulk on all of the joints to help seal out any water. 




 Then to protect the plywood from moisture and undue wear and tear of us walking on it we painted the entire floor with outdoor latex paint.  Since our main objective is to keep water out and not decorating we went to our local hardware store and bought "woops paint" from them.  ("woops paint" is a paint that is mixed the wrong color) 

 It is a little difficult to see in the picture, but the floor in Section 1 is cream, dark grey and baby blue.

 Buying "woops paint" is fun, not only do you get a variety of colors but it is also half price.  As needed we will go back and repaint areas where the plywood shows wear.  Just make sure that it is outdoor paint so that it will withstand the rain and dirt better.

As you can see, John is having way too much fun finishing up the painting, he is using 2 rollers at the same time.

Now we have to repeat the plastic, rock, subfloor, caulking and painting in the other 2 sections.
