We've got a new project. We're fixing the floor. Sort of like walking down a staircase. Something's wrong. And so we're going to pull the floor up, find out, fix it. May take a day or two. What? I'll do is pull all trim off, pull this door off, pull that piece up, and then we're going to rebuild. The problem with the hallway is doing the same thing right here. So, we got to find out what’s going on. Here we go.

Well, we're getting an idea what happened. Looks like originally you had a half inch plywood over the top of these floor joists, which here's a piece kind of sad shape. There's been a lot of water bathtubs over that way. So I'd say that's where the water's coming from. 2x6s they need some help. And so anyway, they did plywood on top of particleboard on top of half inch plywood and felt paper inbetween each layer.

And then there's water underneath. And then I don't like the way this support is because the boards need to be turned on edge if you’re going to use a 2x6.

So we're making progress. We're going to get it all tore up, bring in new 2x6s and some of these are okay, but not great.

This one was pretty sad, but I'll probably put boards beside it and give it that much more strength and put a 4x4 underneath here because this one's broke. I'm not that strong, but actually I fell through the floor.

That's kind of an unusual, I would say. But last year I fell to the floor and got a dancer's fracture and I had to go around in a cast for six weeks. Where other people to work. I work and it was very clumsy, felt like a club for the cartoon character of The Hunchback of Notre Dame ‘Sanctuary, Sanctuary’

Anyway, I didn't stop, though. We kept working and I'm kind of glad we did. But here we go. We're going to do this tear this all up, and we'll show you some more when we get done.

Okay. So we tore out this room. I actually fell to the floor. At least I didn't broke a foot this time. We put a new floor joist over here.

We changed the support, laid over 2x6, 2x8 to a 4x4 that’s pressure treated. We screwed everything together. And wherever the floor joist felt strange or not good enough, we put in another one and we're going to add probably two more in there and then we'll fill all this area in. We put 2bys, 2bys in between.

And if you watch some of videos, you'll see how we screw that together. That way it's no weaknesses on the outside and everything screwed down some of these floor joists. We’re having to deal with the fact that one is 7 and 1/4 and one is 7 inches, but none of them are truly seven and a half what a 2x8 would be so anyway, we're now putting supports under the hallway.

We're going to tear out the hallway, we'll take you with us on that. But I do not step on that board or that board right there. Don't step on it.
