Great job, great video. And by the way it took me a while to freeze at exactly the right point -- about 3:09 -- but it confirmed that I saw what I thought I saw. ;)
It's not actually a "nice wooden floor". It's the cheap laminate floor that was removed from the kitchen when we tore it out and rebuilt it (no video, unfortunately). So it wasn't all that nice but was freely available.
I had planned to put down tile and will do so before I put a washer/dryer in (already plumbed) as then water becomes a real problem. The sub-floor is doubled 3/4" plywood screwed every 4" just to be ready for tile. Piping for a floor drain is also present.
Electrical outlets are often the biggest problem. The vapor barrier has to be sealed around the outlet so no air can pass from inside the wall to inside the room. A single unsealed outlet can reduce the efficiency of an insulated wall by as much as 25%.
Insulation is a tricky thing. Any gap (and I do mean _any_) and all the rest of the insulation is greatly degraded. Heat escapes through the floor just as easily as it does through a wall. In my case, there is an air gap beneath the floor, but the same is also true to a lesser extent for a concrete pad.
When you live in a country with a lot of snow (Canada, in this case), you want a place where you can take off wet and/or muddy boots and hang heavy clothes. We call that a "mud room". A house's front entrance doesn't usually have the room and floor protection for such... plus it's kinda messy.

when you use this room like you said for keeping wet clothes and shoes in it, why have you done this nice "wooden" floor in it?
wouldnt it be better to use some more water resistant things?
by the way: nice job
