Well it took as long to lay the last three sheets of plywood as it did to put down the previous seven. One thing about an older (old) home is not everything is level, I try to make it as level as possible but there are some spots it can't be done, at least without a bit of work. I had to pull up the old planks at the main entrance, and cut away ¾ inch of the original post of the floor joists. I used the skill saw to make many many cross cuts to reduce the thickness of the post. Not to worry, this is a very large post lots of wood to work with. Once that was done I put back the old floor boards and then laid the plywood sub floor. A very long day.
I also took out the first two planks by the door as they had large holes in them where the drain lines ran from the upstairs bathroom. Lots of work done here.
This is looking at the front door from the NE corner of the living room. Trust me when I say the entrance is now level compared to the bow it would have had other wise.
Looking into the hallway from the SE corner of the living room. I made a template from ¼ inch plywood for the cut around the post by the stairs, with a little jigging it fit nicely.
