Today the floor to the basement was poured and finished. It looks
nice. After the batch truck left a load of lumber was dropped off and
they started building. First step was the only real wood used today, PT
sill plates. Then Gluelam beams half way along the longest span. An
engineered I beam was used for the floor joists and a special rim joist
material was used. Tomorrow will be the floor underlayment of a high
density fiberboard material. By the end of the week we should have
walls going up.
