I found out my cats have been peeing on the carpet from my room and I heard plywood is a cheap way to do flooring.

    Use vinyl instead over your old plywood after you get the smell out. They will continue to pre on the plywood.

      That looks so nice. I guess I didn't notice the brad nails in the instructions (sorry). I would have used screws too. I am excited to see the finished product, so please post a picture (or pictures) when it's all done. You have done a really great job!

    Hi! Last year, I ripped up old carpet in my craft room, and after a good cleaning, I smoothed out any rough spots and then painted it with floor paint.
