You get more open space to run duct work, plumbing and power. Without having to figure out where it's ok to make holes. But the I trusses do require less height which is also nice. |

I honestly don't think I have ever done either of the above. I never even called copy machines "Xerox" machines. I did however grow up calling a vacuum cleaner a "Filter Queen". |

R And if you have a flood the OSB turns to sawdust and the house collapses. I think if the "flood" is significant (like standing water) you might have bigger problems than floor joists getting wet. Despite "popular wisdom" OSB (even though its not my favorite material) is pretty decent stuff. I posted while back about some work I did for a crusty old SE (he HATED OSB) would wanted to prove "that stuff is crap". I built some cripple walls out of it, some sample I watered a couple times a day for a few weeks.....tested them against "un-watered" ones. No strength difference. SO .......... OSB bashers (me included) it is a lot better material than one might think. cheers Bob |
