Basement Subfloor

Now that all our insulation is in, the crawl space is finished, and the last bits of the furnace are done... its on to the next project, putting in our new subfloor. This layer of floor will go down on top of the concrete, and provide a layer between that and the future carpet we will be putting down.

We are also using a cool product (I actually heard of it while watching various DIY shows on HGTV...and then we checked it out and bought it at Home Depot) called DRIcore. It comes in square panels which we can snap together, and has plastic with ridges on the bottom of it (this is in case any moisture gets in, it wont get up to our floor/carpet, and can drain under our subfloor). We thought this would be a great extra precaution for our basement just in case there are ever moisture problems in the future.

We got started on it this last weekend, and its going pretty quickly. I think it will just take another weekend to get it done. (fingers crossed)
