I am installing 3/4 inch oak hardwood in a hallway 20 ft long and 4
1/2 ft wide. I am installing it the "long way" on a 5/8 inch plywood
subfloor. My problem is that the 12 inch floor joists change
directions so that the hardwood will be parallel with the joists for
the last 7 feet of the hallway. The joists are on 16 inch centers and
I thought about going under the floor and installing blocks between
the joists, but the central heat ductwork is in the way. The only way
I can put blocks in is to cut into the subfloor and pull enough of it
up to put the blocks in from the top. I would also have to attach
blocks to the existing joists to have something to nail to when
replacing the subfloor. Is this all necessary, or can I just lay the
hardwood on the floor the way it is for that short distance. Thanks
for the help.

There should be no problem.
