The joists then are probably on 24 inch centers. Depending a little on how
many partitions are under, 2 by 8 should be quite good.
Commonly the sub floor is made of tongue and grooved 5/8th plywood which
comes in 4 by 8 foot sheets. I doubt you

It depends on how much work you are up to. If there is a area of the house
where you could cut a hole in the ceiling between the ceiling joists,

If not, than the expensive tongue and groove is the other choice.

Okay, I had another look.
What do they have for a floor up there now?

I'm in the same situation as I find that the insolation in my attic must
be under done.
I thought of 2x 8 ft halves of ply but crossing that 20x 14 ft above the
livingroom was nearly doomed to crack plaster while I lay out bats of
insolation.
How do we cover this? for material and personal
