What to do with interesting floor configuration
Hi guys, I'm looking for anyone who's run into the same kind of floor situation as I have. I live in a single story ranch, about 30' x 40' and I just started evaluating my house for a bathroom remodel. Now I have been under my house before, but hadn't thought much of it until today when I went down to figure out what the joist spacing was and if I would need more support for tile.
What I found was 2x8's instead of joists, running the length of my house, spaced 4ft apart and supported about every 10'. On top of those are tongue and groove planks, laid perpendicular. The planks are an actual 1-1/4" thick and 5" wide. It honestly looks a heck of a lot more like a deck than a house.
Now, it's certainly solid, and I plan to screw 1/2" ply to the top of the planks before tile, but is there anything else I should think on? This setup seems weirdly expensive, but it's done us well so far.
