Installing Hardwood Floor, How Do I Handle The Particle Board Subfloor?
I am installing 3 / 4 "hardwood floors. My subfloor is particle board and not be used for installation of wood. I put a new plywood subfloor in the particle board but work under the walls, and can not be completely removed. I Stop the beam closest to the wall. Are there any recommendations on a overlayment plywood, or a procedure to replace the basement?

Is this an accident of a keystroke?
Ah, there is more being added as a detail in the previous P.
Remove any basis Cove, and install another floor / Sub Sub, if in fact his convinced by others that the structure was designed with the intention of having underfloor summary would become a sponge.

Wooden floors seems to be a popular trend. I still suggest you to visit new construction to see what materials are being used. I suppose you will find a lot of "particle" or MDF is used for sub-soil.
No, and I repeat, do not put a layer on the particle board. Remove the particleboard and left the base layer of plywood right or accept the consequences of a bad job. This is a case in overtime and the cost of doing it correctly completes the sentence. Particle board should never be used anywhere, in my opinion – is cheap junk! I never even used for a flat dog house!
cut the old and replace with plywood. particle board, can cause some inequality in the timber at a later date, is not only a good move
The main reason you can not install 3 / 4 of wood over particle board is that the particle board can not support it when it moves and does not handle well when placed there. I believe that time you could get most of the particle board so you should be clear with their new wood subfloor.
If you have not bought the wood yet I would suggest an engineered wood floor (not laminate) can be installed over particle board, because you can buy to float. Are still considered real wood and can be repainted them all at once if necessary.
If you must change to make our wood by the way as far as possible can work, but I like to try to put a couple of pieces of wood nailed to the edge. My main concern is that you can not sustain aroung the edges when moving house, particle board will move / Shrink / Swell in the different levels of plywood will.
Good luck
Not replace it. Place the plywood on the subfloor.
If the subsoil is strong enough to support other soil types should be supported wooden floors. If their concern is they have no use nails and fingernails and make sure you nail through the subsoil into the joists or glue to install a floor or a floating floor.
