To clarify the problem a little more - the house is a city rowhouse that was built in 1920. It's been suggested to me that it wasn't so uncommon back then to lay the hardwood, which is ~3/4" thick, right onto the joists with no subfloor. So I'm not dealing with the new, thinner (cheaper) hardwood flooring designed to be placed atop a subfloor. At this point, I may do one of two things - place a second layer of hardwood flooring on top of the original, underneath the cabinets etc. Or, since I do have very good access to the floor from the basement, I'm considering bracing the floor from below using plywood fastened to the joists. I'm leaning towards the latter. Any thoughts? |
