I started back on my shower today after taking a break to do other chores. Today I patched a hole in the floor where I had to move a floor register because it was where I want to build a wall.

I put wood across the hole from underneath in the crawl space.

I’m hoping the wood putty turns darker as it dries but if it doesn’t, it is stainable. The patch is at the end of the two pieces of blue tape. I staggered the wood pieces on the near side of the patch but the far side is cut straight across but will be under the wall and not be seen so I didn’t stagger the pieces there. There is also a wide gap on the far side of the patch that will be under the wall but I’m not worried about that.
