To set the stage, we're building an outdoor bathroom, with conventional stool, shower, and lavatory. So potential for water on the floor same as in an indoor bathroom, but with the added possibility of tracking in water, mud, etc.
It will be an 8x8 room built onto the gable end of a small pole barn, with joists and T&G sheet flooring. After drying in the room, I'll somehow finish out the inside, haven't decided yet how that's going to happen, but for now I need to get it usable--dried in with some semblance of privacy--while I have some help here to do the two-person stuff.
I'm thinking painted floor for time being, with maybe ceramic or something on down the road. Gallon of paint is cheaper at sealing up wood than any other option.
All that leads up to the OSB vs plywood header. There are pluses and minuses to both. I value y'all's opinions, figured I'd ask before going and getting the materials to make it happen, probably in the next 2-3 days.
