I need to remove my current wood floor and subfloor to allow access to the crawl space for some foundation work. Once they have finished I am going to put back a temporary floor (6months) until more renovation work is planned. OSB board might be a bit rough to walk on but plywood is expensive. Any recommendations for a temporary floor and how to make it smooth without too much cost bearing in mind it will be ripped up again 6 months later...

To use only adhesive, only screws, or both, that is the question. As part of an installation of engineering wood flooring, I recognized that I need to replace the original stair nose at the top of a stairway so that the new flooring would be flush with nose. [note; the old floor covering was carpet, which simply draped over the original stair nose]. As originally constructed, the stair nose at the top of the stairway was "flush" with the sub floor. With the new hard flooring (as opposed to carpet), I realized I need to somehow raise the nose to make it flush with the new floor surface. I trimmed off part of the original nose [it's laying on the step in the photo]. I discovered that it was not perfectly flush with the sub-floor but this was not an issue with carpet. To correct this issue and create a flat surface on which to place the new nose piece, I cut some pieces of wood shims and bonded them to the remaining part of the old nose. See attached photo. The underside of the nose piece only has about 2" of area that will contact the surface on which it lays. I am concerned that using adhesive only might not provide a strong enough bond to assure that the nose would never come lose. And, if that happened, I think it could possibly cause someone to fall by stepping on that nose as they began to descend the stairway. So, I am thinking about using some screws (would choose black screws for appearance). Interested in opinions on this. [attach]111217[/attach]
