I asked for redwood and advantech - contractor says use DF and pressure treated CDX
Old kitchen floor had termite damage. I ripped it all out, tiles, plywood, diagonal subfloor all the way down to joists. To make sure i'm strong enough for the future, I asked my licensed GC to sister redwood 2x6 to all the joists (sitting on the pier-supported beam and foundation sill), then put advantech 1 1/8 on top. he disagrees with me, says redwood is not structural and prefers DF. says advantech is ultimately still OSB and he prefers CDX pressure treated plywood. what do you guys think? submitted by /u/traeba [link] [comments]
