Floor Joists

At the end of Saturday we had finished the main beam and most of the floor joists. Here are some pictures from that day.


The main beam was put up with 7 strong men pushing, lifting, and pulling. It went into place quite nicely with all those hands helping at once. We were able to start doing some sub flooring. I've been using a great tool that Dad picked up this last year. It's a screw gun with self feeding screws. It does the job about 5 or 6 times as fast as the traditional screw gun and you can stand while you hold the gun and screw in the fasteners for the sub-floor. I'll get a picture of someone running it tomorrow. It's a time saver. Maybe we'll have some walls up tomorrow. We'll have to wait and see.
