I have the same dilema. My layout is 2" foam over a wood frame, no plywood. <br />I was thinking of glueing strips of luan plywood up under the foam from the bottom, between the "joists". <br />Anothe option I had considered was using a short piece of 1x3", mounting the Tortoise to it and screwing it to the joists. <br />Getting it located properly and drilling up through the foam without trashing the turnout could be rough in either case. <br />I guess I should have done some better advanced planning! <br /> <br />Doug
