I went ahead and put that last can of Thompsons on it, all over every edge, post, and any wood i could reach with my brush.
Naw, Blatterjr, I wasnt wise enough to put waterseal on the underside of the flooring before I put it up. Im still kicking myself for not buying the betterm waterproof stuff. If only I had known about it...

What do they call that thin plywood flooring, John? Is there some name I should be looking for?
I want to put something over the ugly particle board looking flooring I have now, is 'I/O carpet' indoor/outdoor? Dean had carpet in his and it was nice. Perhaps thats the route to take.

um. When you say 'subfloor' what are we talking about exactly? The only flooring I have is the tongue and groove (OSB?) flooring now? Is that the subfloor?
Sorry, Ive never done any of this and 'subfloor' is beyond me.

Lol, who am I to argue with an architect?
Quote: Cover it with some "Visqueen"
Thanks, Hubert. Ill look into that. Would I just be better off with a tarp ya think? I just bought one big one that I was using to cover my pier slab before i put the floor on it, now its covering the riding mower. I could get another one and possibly cover it all.
Quote: At most, some seams may pucker a little.
I put several tubes of wood sealant stuff made for sealing wood, decks, flooring to itself, and particle board type stuff in every joint and crack where the tongue and groove went together. While we were in the hospital it rained the wife said, so Its already had one big dose of rain without any sealant or anything on it.
Yesterday and today was around 80° so im sure it dried pretty good before I treated it. Tommorrow is suppose to be nice, and then several more days of rain (of course it changes everytime I look), so Im hoping to go after the 2x4's I need to make walls.
Hopefully we can make a wall or two tommorrow night once the wife gets home and get right back on it.
