How Not To Install A Subfloor PT. 2

Continuing from Part 1 of the kitchen remodel/repair/rebuilding of the subfloor...the missing and loose pieces all replaced and properly screwed down, I set upon fixing the really bad areas...the actual HOLES in the floor, itself. It was my realtor that pointed pout the "soft" area in front of the dishwasher. What I found when I took up the vinyl flooring was, well, a big...gaping...HOLE! I mean, there were scraps of wood just "balanced" on the main beam with nothing to attach it to anything! What...the...fuck? I checked for any further damage, found none and got creative at repairing this...

After wedging in a few extra pieces of scrap wood, I sealed up everything with sa thick layer of silicon, smoothed it out and let it dry. Now I was ready for the next cave...er...hole repair. Why anyone would knock a hole in the floor and the base-board to create a vent opening for a dyer, is beyond me. I mean, a standard dryer vent hose wouldn't even fit in this thing! I had purchased a proper vent assembly about a month after I moved in, for later installation (which I will get to, eventually). The repair trick here (since there was nothing to build upon), was for me to insert a few screws into the original floor and attach a piece of wood over them...sort of balancing act, if you will. This piece was then screwed down and the rest of the hole sealed up with more silicon. I was now ready to install the new flooring, once everything was nice and dry.

And there you have it. With the main floor now in place, I can concentrate on installing new sub-flooring in the hall and pantry areas (where there currently is no subfloor at all).
