Subfloor Part 3: Subfloor Sheathing

Once the fascia was attached to the trailer, the next step has been to put our subfloor sheathing on top of the trailer. We have a 3/4" CDX T&G OSB subfloor sheating.  



One would think that the most challenging part of this process would be cutting the OSB to fit around the wheel wells, or perhaps getting the runs to be perfectly straight and square along the length of the trailer. For us, however, the most difficult part of the process was attaching the subfloor sheating to the trailer. We ended up snapping at least 4 drill bits- you can totally forget about the 'self-tapping' feature of our OSB-to-Sheet Metal screws. But we did manage to get it on in the end.


The next step will be to measure and mark out where the sill plate will go and then we'll get our SIPs up!
