Flooring Options on Cement Slab?
I would love some opinions on possible flooring options to go on some space under my house... as I've previously mentioned, I'm removing piers under my house to create more space, and will put down a concrete slab. As this place will ultimately become another living area, I was thinking about putting down some second hand floorboards... the plan would go something like this..
install new wooden 'joists' directly to slab. attach to slab. Joist would be something like 19mm x 30-45mm, just enough to sit the boards above the slab
install floorboards onto new joists as normal installation.
I am currently on the lookout trying to pick up some second hand floorboards, thinking house demolitions / auctions would be the way to go... My guestimate for price would be around the $2-$3K mark for a 'standard' house worth of floorboards (second hand)....
what I want to know is..... does this sound like a reasonable idea, or insanity??
