cement-eating threads - with a 5/32 drill bit - rotary hammer
drill), no anchors. No adhesive failure either. Drilling the hole a
little deeper than the screw (I remember that part). Then a layer
of building felt for a little give (I like that idea). Then, how
can I use glue for the T&G on top of that? I can't. So I use the
nails, sweat or not. The garage has never flooded in the past 10
years that I have lived here. Earthquake? Well, everything is still
standing, so maybe I am o.k. (I am not in Northridge). So, do you
think that is good procedure?

Yeah.

Any concerns or objections or better ideas?

1. Get ply made for the purpose...it has T & G edges

2. Stagger the ply joints.
