today i have been working on a bathroom with a plumber that the customers have employed. while preparing the floor ready for tiling the plumber stood in the doorway watching my every move. upon completion of the said prep the plumber asked why i had done what i had done????.
Sorry i said what do you mean? well all of what you have done is a bit overkill isnt it.
Now this floor is a tongue and groove wooden floor which has been nailed to the joists..so i screwed down the floorboards to reduce the movement and ensured that the nail heads were below the wood. i then layed the pre-cut and sealed 18mm mpb and proceded to pilot hole at 100mm intervals...once this was completed i then counter sunk all holes to ensure that no screw heads were protruding...and then i screwed the ply down using approx 400 screws.
there is no way i would have done it like that he said.....i would have only used about 100 screws and i would have hammered any heads that were above level.
this is the way that i always prep floors...am i guilty of over kill or do you guys do roughly the same.
