Hi
I took it upon myself to want to remove the old 5/8's OSB Sub-floor as it has major water damage and squeaks and has maybe 15 screws+Nails holding it together:no:.
I have started out fine but my reciperating saw/Circular saw can only get so close to the stud wall(Sole Plate)
So It's been cut on a slight angel
Now I went and bought a new 2x8 to double up the other one so I can have a place to screw the new 5/8's plywood down along that wall as I would not have anywhere(schluter ditra says 5/8's will do fine) Spoke right to owner:biggrin:
2x8 Joists 16" OC
The Sub floor in the hallway is 5/8's too so I wanted everything the same height+Ditra will add some thickness and the 13x13 tiles to
Should I just leave the little bit of old 5/8's along this wall or is there another way beside getting a Toe Kick saw to remove it possibly a saw blade made for a reciperating saw.
When striping a old sub floor usually right to the joists do you ever get the 1"-2" under the Stud sole plate too.
I thought I would ask as I'm not really sure and don't know who else to ask on this subject.
Thanks
Any help would be great
