The hardest part was the floor joist for the second floor. It was a lot of work and slow for two people. A third person to carry the joist and cut the blocks and backing would have helped a lot.


We are spending a little more $ to try to improve the 2nd floor overall. We are going to clear span the entire 28' with some substantial engineered I joists. I am hoping that this also moves things along a little quicker.
