Haha yes! I feel like I've done something crazy. Now I'm going to have to start laying the laminate floor I bought in January, I don't know if you remember.
I bought it thinking I could install it straight away when I got to my tiny house. And in fact, when I got there, I noticed that the floor wasn't really straight, so I did some levelling to make sure it was completely level. Then I noticed that my floor was too thin to be durable in the long term, so I had two choices:
- break it all up and then have 2 tons of concrete delivered, drive it down 300 m of muddy ground by hand because the truck couldn't get down there, install it, etc.
- Or make a floor that would hold on the agglos at the bottom of my walls. Put some OSB on top and then put my laminate floor on top.
I opted for the second option. It was certainly the most difficult to do, and also the most expensive. But 1, concrete isn't really good for the environment and 2, I'd never have been able to get it down on my property, you have to cross a stream and that would have been really difficult.
On the negative side, the floor means I've lost a lot of headroom, since I've lost about 15cm. On the ceiling, there's a beam right in the middle that goes down 20cm below my roof, and I'm now almost at its level. So when I pass this point, I have to bend my head down a bit, it's just about right, but I've already caught a few hairs in the wood grooves and it really hurts ^^
