Its a figure of speech. I think John knows how to remove the floor and he still must get the old floor out somehow. A shovel is the easier way to pick up trash? I really think that sub floor has been sanded. It looks like ship lap instead or tongue and groove. Again, if this was my place, it needs to go. Plywood is so much stronger and stiffer. sister a joist around the perimeter and block it off to keep from moving if necessary. Slap plywood on top of that and move on. When we go in and do these things, I get rid of almost everything but the joist and level everything up and start fresh. No issues, no bounce, and start with a perfectly clean slate. In terms of saving money, I truly believe this isn't where one should penny pinch. What do I know, but that's what I would do to my own home or anyone else's.
