may this be my last time ...

once the addition and roof were complete and there was no longer and flooding happening in the house it was time for the final floor tearout/rebuild.  removing the original planks from the floor was a quite a bit of work as they pretty much splintered when pried upon, but the joists cut out pretty easy with the sawzall.  please notice the sweet blue paint on the basement walls, again confirming the fact that bad taste truly did live here...

installing the joists went pretty well, but they did need to be notched in a couple of places so they would match up with the other new joists as well as produce a level floor.  since the span is pretty much the same as the great room, 2x10's were used and were set on the sill plate and tacked to the side of the previously installed joists.

i hate blocking.

there is truly nothing better than a nail gun for installing subfloor.  however, hitting the joists is more difficult than it may seem, at least for a novice like myself.    

overall, the subfloor in the entire house turned out pretty well.  they certainly improved as i went along and this one was probably the best.
