Day 91: Painted Floor



They got the sub-floor finished today. And painted it white. Perhaps it water-protects it? I did a little research on subfloor. Here's what I found:
Probably no other element receives as much wear and tear in a building as flooring. What goes underneath the top flooring layer is critical in determining the performance and longevity of a building's entire flooring system. Used for structural and foundation support, subfloors ideally minimize moisture absorption and help prevent excessive movement, sagging, unequal heights, separation, or squeaking within the floor system.
Subflooring—What Is It?
Subflooring is the rough floor and, for single-family homes, typically the only layer between the decorative flooring and the joists. Subflooring is one of the fundamental elements of interiors. A stable, level subflooring is critical to the durability and longevity of the finished flooring materials. There are several types of subflooring available.
The wind was super crazy today out there. Holy Windy, Batman!
