subfloor

I has been a week since we poured the concrete and we have made alot of progress through the week.  At the beginning of the week we placed the girders (2x12's) into the concrete ties and attached joist hangers and to them.  We then measured and cut the joists (2x8's) and attached them to the girders by joist hanger.

Friday we started the sub-floor of the house (1/2" tongue and groove plywood).  It was a tedious process to align the sheets together and keep them from shifting but we used an air powered nail gun that made quick work of the sheets once them were set in place.

We also finished the girders and joists that is on an angle which was interesting because we needed a 76 degree cut on the vertical of the joists. Since the miter saw only goes to 45 degrees it was a learning curve to figure out how to cut the board correctly but in the end we figured out the issues.  We also received the lumber to start framing of Friday.  Unloading the wood was surprisingly easy but in the end it had to be relocated to the trailer which took more strength.  On Saturday we finished the sub-floor and trimmed the excess wood along the perimeter of the house.  We also started to layout the framing of the house.  Today we will start framing the walls and set the openings for the windows.
