So, my subfloor are particle board, they are stained from whatever grossness. I had planned to put osb down over top of them for a clean surface. However, with all the things I need to do around here I am left wondering....
Why could I not just leave it as is, put down knew roofing paper (or something similar and get new padding and carpet?
I have some paint that if for painting over stains and smells (including smoke)... so, why not just do that?
Give me the cons, I have no intentions of moving/selling. I am on track to have the house paid off in 2031, and I am saddled with 68k in student loans.
Other things that are absolutely necessary: new windows, new siding, gix sag in center of house, new flooring/patching in dining room out to screened in back porch, repair of screened in back porch, repair of some rot on (rim joist? Not sure if proper term), kitchen remodel, new drywall at least on lower 4 feet of drywall throughout house, and 1 room ceiling redrywalled, 1/2 bath ceiling repair, I don't have carpet tack strips or baseboards throughout house and I have 2 holes that need repaired that use to be return air vents, and I need the metal part of the air vents replaced in multiple rooms because the floor is crumbling Round them and they didn't replace around them like I asked (obviously I would have to replace at least there).... so hit me up with all the why should I put all new subfloor down (other than around vents).... also, I am 51 if that matters to anyone.
