My house flooring is 3/4 plywood on 16” OC joists and then 2x6 on top of the plywood.
But then I tend to overbuild everything.

How’s the weather back there in Ohio? I haven’t been back there for a couple years.

Mr Bo,
Is that tongue and groove 2x6s or 2x6 boards?
hugs, Brandi

We did T&G inside, but the deck will be 2x6 boards with a space between them.

Update. I have about 2/3 of the floor done. Well, not completely done. I still need to go back and put in a lot of screws, but I am making progress.

I ran out of lumber, so I will have to wait a week or so to finish. I have been buying it in increments so it is not laying around long enough to warp and twist.

That does look really nice. I hope you are sealing those cut ends!

Whatever finish is used on the rest of the board. If they are pressure treated/prefinished and come that way, ask the lumber yard what to use. They should have it on hand. The treatment doesn't get to the inside nowadays... If they don't have anything then just ask for the general pressure treating stuff they should have in the paint dept. by the gallon.
