Thank you all for your invaluable assistance with my subfloor project. The comments and input were incredibly informative and insightful. I'm pleased to share the results with you. Please take a look at the finished project :)

Unfortunately not 🤣🤣🤣. Grout tomorrow, than paint And cabinet installation process which I will share as well :)

Another milestone :)

I did OC 5" spacing with 1 1/4

Also later on in the day this happened :) Used modified thin set by Shluter

As promised, i have screwed down the ply to the joists using 2.5" #8 decking screws and also stich ply to the planks in-between

When I place the new plywood on the floor do I leave expansion joints in between or butt them together? Also if an expansion joint in-between the sheets of ply is needed what do I fill them with before the thinset?

I will definitely keep on updating my progress in this thread
