ENOUGH ALREADY.  Lets all agree there's more than one way to do anything.

Very true. If it was me, I'd put Trex decking down. Then if the roof ever leaks it wouldn't get damaged.

Hell if I know. I've got more crap up there that you could fit in a C-130.

When the ceiling sags I just brace it with a 4x4 and a bottle jack from Harbour Freight.

Have been living in my home for 20 years, the C-130 reference best describes my attic as well!

After reading this thread I now find myself worrying about my house imploding into itself. lol.     Time to clean up the attic.

Do you think we should glue-down some tinfoil, too?

Mylar. Space age material for space attacks. 

Who knew that a thread on a gun forum about attic flooring would become the longest thread ever on this site.

There is also no danger of the ceiling collapsing in the Taylor Ham/pork roll thread.  That's closer to you say toe-mah-toe, I say toe-may-toe.

If you are worried about the ceiling collapsing, just put all the stuff over the guest room where your mother in law sleeps.

Are you really sure about that....???
I seem to recall @Mrs. Peel having some rather strong reactions to the Pork Rollers.....

WTF happened here.

This should have been a 1 page thread.

 

Just throwing this out... You can sandwich the joist between 1/4 Inch full length steel plates and bolt them together...

That's what we are going to do in the basement on the main laminate beam so we can remove the center column.

Have you decided if you’re going to start a new thread on column removal or drag this one on?  I vote new one.

If you eat enough delicious Taylor Ham or knockoff pork roll, maybe there IS a danger of a floor collapse...

But yea, in terms of "my 'wood' is bigger than yours" - there's more than enough in this thread...

After what happened at Notre Dame I would put down steel plating instead of plywood. It'll be like a frickin tinderbox up there.
