If the current floor is uneven or loose, install a plywood or hardboard underlayment 1/4 inch thick after securing loose boards. Use proper nails for underlayment. Otherwise you can lay the vinyl tile directly over the present floor if it is solid and level. Dimensional lumber ranges 2-5 inches thick. board lumber is under 2 inches thick but 8 inches or more wide.

Earth tubes offer cooling option for homes in Manhattan
Kansas State University expert Doug Walter explains two earth tube cooling types. Open systems draw in outside air through buried ducts. closed loops recirculate house air through tubes. Effectiveness uncertain, not a substitute for air conditioning. Tubes buried 6-10 feet, 6-12 inch diameter, 30 foot lengths preferred in multiples.
