well IMHO it is within the realm of a competent DIYer. ripping out a
floor is not rocket science. helps alot to cut the flooring into


Good plan, but also go the same direction as the current subfloor
(or across joists) and replace with T-n-G OSB, glued and screwed.

God advice. Only thing I have to add is get a set of knee pads.

Hire a couple of strong young guys to carry out the demo wood and carry in
the new plywood.
