This is sort of an "add-on" thread to my earlier water damage post:
To repair the water-damaged area, I removed about 30 square foot of carpeting and probably 40-50 square feet of vinyl including that which was installed under the carpet. I replaced a section of subfloor about 4'x2' with real 3/4" plywood. We're just about ready to put things back together and need to figure out what to use for replacement flooring. Except for a small tile project in my home, I've never done flooring of any kind. My wife found a Stainmaster vinyl plank at Lowe's that she liked. But, apparently, you cannot install these "floating" floors over the cr*p OSB that trailer manufacturers use for subfloors.
Do I just look for a color of cheap rolled vinyl that the Mrs can live with and put that down?
As always, any suggestions would be appreciated.
