We are remodeling our bedroom, and I wanted some advice before we proceed with the floor.
We have gutted the room, and the floor was carpet, no pad, hardwood (with bits of glue and tile stuck all over the place - not sure how many floors there have been over the years), then black felt paper (?), then the planks that lie directly on top of the floor joists.
In the picture this is the floor half removed. You can see the hardwood on the left, then the paper, then the planks.
These planks have knot holes everywhere and gaps between them and you can see right down to the dirt floor of the crawlspace. As you can imagine, it's pretty cold in there right now! (Thank goodness the heat doesn't go to that room anyway, I would hate to be heating the outside!)
So my question is, what next?
My guess would be something to replace that felt paper, plywood, and then our new flooring. Am I right? Am I even close?
If we do need some kind of felt paper or "house wrap" if you will, what would be the best way about putting it down? The previous layer just laid on the floor with the layer of hardwood holding it in place.
Thanks in advance!
