Does anyone have an opinion on what I should use for finishing my basement. I'm in the Toronto,ON area so winter's are cold and summers are hot and somtimes humid. I have worked with wood not metal but I hear they are simply different to work with not necessarily more difficult to work with. I went to the HD and metal is priced 10 cents less than wood (but I hear metal will cost the same in the end). So, since price doesn't appear to be a factor....Can anyone tell me what would be best? Pros & Cons of each? thanks

hello all, i'm putting down a whole new subfloor of 3/4" tongue and groove osb (one of those combination subfloor/underlayment). i was working late the other night to try and get as much flooring down because i had contractors coming the following day that needed to work in that area. anyways, apparently i rushed the job a little, because i noticed that for one of the subfloor panels, one end only has about 3/8" bearing on a joist. unfortunately, I've already screwed and glued the panel down, and butted another panel into the groove edge. :wall: i plan on eventually putting down a laminate floor, but i'm concerned that the 3/8" bearing is not enough, and that the panel may break/sag/etc. at some point, even though right now it's sturdy. am i just being paranoid about this, or is it something that needs to be fixed? thanks in advance
