Ren, go read the article. He specifically says "six layers of 3/4" plywood, plus a floor joist over 2" thick". Not exactly in those words but close enough. He did not say "one layer of 3/4", 6-ply plywood". Besides, it wouldn't make much difference. Just for shits and grins I'll also do the 6-ply plus a standard 2x12 floor joist. I'll be surprised if a slug goes through that, either.

My pics will be out later- if not elsewhere, then here.



I've read the article. We're not disagreeing on what he said, we're disagreeing on how to interpret it. Six sheets of 3/4" plywood makes no sense. No builder in his right mind would stack plywood 6 sheets thick on top of 2x6 floor joists. There's no way to justify the cost. Max has a reputation for being mean, but not for being stupid enough to claim that the plywood in his floor is six sheets thick.

However, it's pretty obvious that Max is milking this for as much publicity as possible. Most people would be satisfied to say that the FBI discharged a shotgun into the floor. Max has himself photographed with a piece of plywood with circles and arrows so no one misses the buchshot hole. You and I have already given him enough extra publicity. I've made my point, so I'll drop out now.
