hi
I'm doing some remodeling work, and my plumber just cut a hole for the toilet flange. right now, I only have 3/4" OSB subfloor, plus 1/2" plywood underlayment. I plan on putting down ditra and tile. the flange won't be installed until the end, right now the pipe is just a long stub-out that will be cut down.
The hole he cut is a little too big, in that the perimeter of the flange will be supported, but the screws won't have anything to bite into.
I have access from the basement. Can I cut a patch of plywood, and screw it to the bottom of the OSB? I figured he could use some longer flange screws to screw into the patch.
Thanks
