Measure the bathroom floor and determine the amount of plywood you will need. For example, a floor that is 10-feet by 10-feet equals 100 square feet. One sheet of plywood is 4-feet wide by 8-feet long, which equals 32 square feet. Divide 100 square feet by 32 square feet. Based on this calculation, you need 3.125 sheets of plywood for the floor. Apply construction adhesive onto the floor joists directly underneath the first sheet of plywood. The construction adhesive will add an extra layer of strength and keep the floor from squeaking later on. Lay the first sheet of plywood perpendicular to the floor joist. Work fro
