I bought a moisture meter to test the timber joist and board subfloor.
It seems to mostly be at 12%. However each board that is near an exterior wall has the first 6" with higher moisture. This first 6" is around 20% moisture.
//
I had planned to lay 6mm ply over the existing 22mm floorboards which are structurally sound, but a little cupped, 2 mm at most I would say. Is that acceptable?
//
I presume the first paragraph means no oak floor for me then?
