Take some Sub-flooring Tips from the Pros:

  • The total thickness of subfloor and underlayment under tile should be at least 1 1/8 inch thick. The material under tile should be exterior grade plywood CDX or better. However, tile backer board is best, especially in the bathroom, (it is unaffected by water). It is also more rigid and made for under tile flooring.
  • Under your carpets you can get away with plywood or even particle board. Plywood being better,(but more expensive).


About Washington, DC :
The location of the nation's capital was a source of contention from the beginning. Just as cities now vie for professional athletic teams or maybe the Olympics, in the 1780's the great prize among the states was the national capital. Philadelphia, the wartime capital, was the leading contender. The powerful Virginia delegation wanted a location on the Potomac, with numerous other alternatives suggested. Characteristically, the solution was found in a compromise. Alexander Hamilton was floating a scheme for the new Federal government to assume the war debts of the individual states. Having hosted most of the war, Northern states had larger debts than their Southern cousins. Southern states were understandably reluctant to take on debts they didn't see as their own. The compromise came with the Southern states agreeing to assume the debts, and the Northern delegations allowing a capital in the south. The city was of course named Washington, and placed in a federal District of Columbia. The Constitution specifies a 10 mile square parcel, placed under direct control of the Congress. George Washington selected the site, a few miles up river from his home at Mt. Vernon.
