My uncle said to spend extra on the floor first, and I'm glad I did
When I built my 12x16 studio last fall, my uncle, a contractor, told me to put a real wood floor over the plywood subfloor before I did anything else. I almost skipped it to save $800. I went ahead and laid down oak planks. Fast forward to this spring, and a pipe burst in my main house, flooding the yard. The water got under the studio, but the sealed wood floor kept everything inside totally dry. Has anyone else had a foundation or flooring choice save them from a big problem?

That "spend extra on the floor first" advice is pure gold. Your uncle is a smart guy. It's so easy to cheap out on the stuff you don't see every day, but that's what really protects everything else. Really glad it worked out for you, that could have been a total disaster.
