Good thing this thread got resurrected because I am getting ready to start my ODK. My question is about the hardiebacker floor. It looks like you ran quite a few pieces of Trex or Starboard under your island. I was concerned that if I ever had to crawl inside to get at plumbing or whatever, that my weight might crack the hardiebacker. I wondered if you felt it was plenty strong? I was wondering if plywood on top of the hardiebacker would be necessary.

I used 1/2" HB for the floor and with the trex support it is plenty strong enough. I am almost 300lbs and could stand on the floor no problem.

Another question if you don't mind. What length rivets did you used? Did you also used rivets to attach the board to the frame?
I don't remover the length of the rivers but they where probably3/16". I used the green hardie board screws to attach the board to the studs. Worked great.
