Haha-I was wondering why this floor was sunk down

[CraigT]

When we first walked through the house I noticed the floor being sunk and spongy in front of the bathroom. I assumed there was some major problem that someone tried to fix, but couldn't, because I could see where the floor had been cut into before, yet the floor wasn't right. I was prepared to have to dig in some sort of pier in the crawlspace, but when I re-opened up the floor all I could do was laugh. I guess if all you have access to is two small pieces of 2X6 and one small piece of 2X10 this is the best you can do.

Not bad at all. Not like bringing a post hole digger in the house to make a pier. I'll sister in three joists going back about four feet on each and run them out to the far double joist and attach them with hangers.

The hardest part will be trying to get the height right, even though a majority of this floor is going to be carpeted so I can leave the floor plywood. The reason the height is an issue is the old floor was 3/4" oak with the sub floor being 1 bys (3/4") at a diagonal. Modern floor plywood is under 23/32" so I'll likely use 2 sheets with 1/8" masonite in between.

I get an "unauthorized referrer" message when I click on the link or paste the URL in the address bar.

It's actually an *image* of black text that reads:

Easiest I've found is to add a layer of felt paper or so; can make virtually any thickness needed by one or more plies cheaply and certainly easier than trying shimming or finding other thicknesses of stock materials.

Whenever you encounter something like that you can copy and paste the URL into a new tab or browser window, drag the icon next to the URL to the status bar at the bottom of the browser window, or hit "Alt+D, then Enter."

Huh???? Why not just post a *working* link? And what's with all of the Nod32 crap?

[DerbyDad03]

Yeah, that's better. Now I get an *image* of black text that reads:

Whatever the problem is, it's on your end. When I clicked on the url, I saw a picture of a floor with a section removed showing no real support underneath.
