Re: Subfloor repair for mobile home addition

After many hours researching online, I think I will go with screws only (without construction adhesive). I have read the same thing as Ponch37300 described.

Re: Subfloor repair for mobile home addition

Re: Subfloor repair for mobile home addition

Unfortunately, there is no joist along the wall. The wall is screwed down to the plywood. Some part of the plywood is totally rotten all the way to the wall. Should I also cut of the bolts that screw the wall to the plywood so my new subfloor can go under the wall?

Thanks,
Joseph

Did you suggest to cut to the middle of the center beam so both old and new subfloor ...
