Framing the House, Week Two
Floor joists went up on Wednesday, August 21st. Here’s the view looking at the garage door
openings. The pile in front is advantech floor sheathing, which is supposed to take a
wetting and still lie flat and have good edges.
Floor joists from above looking toward the North.
And from below, looking up from Maura’s work room.
Floor joists from the shed roof.
The advantech sheathing is
in place. Here you can see the sheathing
on top of the floor joists on top of the LVL beam.
Floor sheathed taken from shed roof. Oops!
I’m one sheet short! Had to fill
in with osb in the corner
because advantech could only be ordered in full lifts
and we didn’t need 44 spare sheet left about after the house is finished.

floor walls are framed…..
And same view with walls in place.
Looking out southeast corner. Notice that it is raining and the advantech sheathing is being put to the test.
