    I have a previous post of yours saved when you were asking for suggestions for getting power to the middle of the floor. You ran electric under the wood, right? At the time...

    George,
    Is that red oak or white? I was thinking of putting oak in my shop, but having been leaning toward Hickory only because it is harder. Have any of your tools made indentations in your wood?

    I'm not planning on using Advantech, but instead 3/4" 4x8 T&G ply. In that case, would you lay sleepers 24" OC or 48" OC with a 15psi or 25psi EPS in between the sleepers? Or do you think 16" OC is...

    Thanks guys. It's the interior surface I'm working on, not exterior sheathing holding things together. I'll check some areas to see if I'm getting beyond 18" spacing, but I feel better about...
