So what we're dealing with is. Actually, a problem that was inherited from design, uh, on the floor, the, the factory ran, long sheets lengthways. Instead of across, that's really bad habit, because the particleboard and the plywood, uh. Runs their layers this way also. So inherently it's weaker. And it will bow in between. It doesn't help that it had water on it.

But if you’ll notice that there's a little bit of a gap right there, uh, say a quarter inch, and it goes all the way across that particular area. But here where it got just a little bit of water, of course it's much, much worse. So what we're going to do is pop lines, and I'll probably replace material. And guess what? I'm not going to be running the material lengthways, even if it's only 16 inches wide, I'm going to run 16 inch butt cuts across it. That way, the strength.

Is running this direction across an area because that way. So you always you never want to do what they call railroading, which is to run your material lengthways with the floor joists. You want to go across the floor joists. So, you're still on the strength of the floor joists, going this way and the plywood going this way. Weaving it. It’s making both of them stronger.

So that's what we're going to do.
