Fueled by frosty beverages, I have spent free time this month completing the subfloor of the Spartan in 2 hour increments. 30 minutes to set up, 30 minutes to remember how I did this last time, 30 minutes of work, and the last 30 minutes for cleanup. I had a lot of help from my 4 1/2 year old though, so that really kept things on pace.
I went about it one sheet at a time. I layed the sheet down and snugged it up against the last one, marking the rafters where crossbracing was needed. I then removed the plywood and cut braces on centers so that everything was very snug. After that, it was just gluein' and screwin'.
I finally scrounged up the better part of a day and completed the job. I'm glad the task is done, and so is my wife because this means it's time to do some floor planning. We tried using graph paper and then CAD, but neither worked out. Both methods cost a lot of time, and the result was inaccurate. I think we'll try chalk or pencil on the plywood. I know, I know, that's really backwards, but that's just how I'm living!
