Screwing

A 1 lb box of 2-inch deck screws is sufficient to screw down ONE 3/8 inch 4×8 piece of plywood.

Screws around the perimeter = 3 inches apart

Screws through the middle = 6 inches apart

So- if you have 10 boards to screw down, buy more than 3 boxes of screws.

    I’m with Cathy. I thought it was a honeymoon reference.
    Good luck with the floor too.
    BTW, did anyone suggest that you countersink and puddy over the screw heads?

    Don’t know that its that needful. We got foam underlayment for the kickass flooring sitting in our den acclimating to the mighty climate of the awesome casa- uh - bennu, so the screwheads ain’t gonna screw with nuttin.
