Hello,
I bought my house 8 years ago from a builder. As part of the purchase, I had the builder rough out the 3rd floor to be finished later. Well, its later and I am starting to finish the 3rd floor (attic). While laying out the bathroom getting ready to install walls, I see that the 3/4 OSB floor moved some at some of the joints. When I tried to screw down some of the joints I realized that there is no joist under the joint (along long edge).
Will I have to rip up the floor and reinforce it or can I put down a layer of cement board to reinforce it? I am worried the tile will crack.
Thanks
