My project for the summer is to build a log cabin sauna on our property. The base is 12x14 with the sauna portion 10x12 and a 4' porch on the front. The roof will cover the entire structure with plenty of overhang. My floor joists are logs as well, notched on beams at 2' centres. I am wondering what the better option is to go over my joists. 5/8" tongue and groove plywood or 3/4" plywood, not tongue and groove. The plywood will be for the inside part of the building, probably finished with tile down the road. The porch floor will be covered with rough pine probably 1" x4"'s. Any advice is appreciated.

Screw blocking to both sheets along each edge under the joint and use the 3/4
