Default Wood Floor and Subfloors


wrote in message
...
Hi!

I've purchased a new tongue and groove solid wood floor that I'm going
to be putting down. I tore the old floor up, and right now, there are
1x6's perpendicular to the joists as the subfloor.

Everything I read says you should install the wood floor perpendicular
to the joists. Now, should I install the wood floor perpendicular to
the subfloor 1x6's, or perpendicular to the joists?




*I'm no expert, but I would say perpendicular to the subfloor. I don't
think that you want the joints from both floors to line up.
