Floor



The lumber has arrived and we have been busy getting started on the floor.

Glulam beams on the far left in the wrapping. The shortest was 16' the longest 32'. Next pile over are the joists. Truss joists on the bottom, up from that are the 2"x10" and 2"x12" joists. The green pile is treated lumber for the ledgers, 3"x12" and 2"x12"


Two days to put all the Glulam beams in. Kristi operated the excavator and lifted them all into place. Every beam needs to be cut and shaped to fit. Holes need to be drilled for bolts.



The build team. We have hangers nailed on the beams. The ledger is still missing from the back wall, you can see it on the left. Some of the truss joists are in.

It's got to be a good feeling to see the flooring supports in.
