subfloor/floor questions
In prep to replacing my drain and pipes, I had to cut out about a 2' 6" wide by 16" deep piece of the 1/2" plywood underlayment. I have some 1/2" OSB laying around and was wondering if I could use that to patch the hole. I am going to use some cross pieces to give me something to nail into.
I will be covering the 1/2" ply underlayment with either a 1/2" cement board or maybe 3/4" plywood sheet. What do you recommend?
Another question here, if I use the 3/4" ply should the grain go perpendicular to the grain of the 1/2" and should it be screwed down to the 1/2" and at the joists or within the body of the 1/2. After that, felt and mesh, and mud pan.
