The first floor deck is on.

Today’s goal – put on the first floor deck and sub-floor. They started setting up the 2x10 sides and laying out the cross pieces, and nicely accounted for the center stairs. Gradually, all boards were down and ready for the next step.

They provided added support in the floor along both sides of the foundation to give extra support to the Superior walls. Then they went along every cross piece to secure them properly – nail gun magic. Finally the framing was ready for the sub-floor laydown.

Gluing and nailing was the approach. Each piece of 4x8 tongue&groove board was carefully placed and pounded into place with a sledge hammer. Each row laid to interlock with the previous row until the flooring was complete.
