partical board is up next

after the foil insulation is installed we next lay on the particle board which will finish the sub floor step in building the house. we installl them in a staggered formation as showen above to alow for even distrabution of weight throughout the joints. when instaling it is important to remember 2 things

1. use the approite product nails an glue for the type of particle board used
2. for wet areas you must use treated plywood as it will last longer than normal particale board also be sure to use the tongue provided for the plywood
3.  be sure to wear old clothes because once the glue gets on it doesent get off

before be place the particle board on we must first apply glue to the joist on the cut out squares and mark out the joists on the particle board with a string line and apply glue to the edges that are going to connect at that moment

we then line the board up an push it in so that the board has a tight fit this is shown when there is no gap an glue is seeping out we can do this by applying pressure to the ends and tacking in nails to keep it there from there we nail the marked out areas and then continue until the floor is finished.
