Day 41: Wood framing

The interior walls for the bedroom, bathroom and closet in my home are of wood frame construction. The ceiling framing over these rooms functions as the floor framing for the loft above. Hayward Lumber delivered a beautiful load of framing lumber in the morning – see vid below.

We started framing the wall separating the family room from the bedroom and bathroom. We also attached joist hangers to the east wall ledger – see pic below.

I watered the porch slab again at the end of the day to help it cure properly.

Green comment for today:
Please purchase Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified material if you need new lumber for your project. The FSC helps ensure that lumber is harvested in a sustainable manner. Generations from now, the same forest that produced my wood will still be able to produce wood for building. The pic below shows the FSC stamp on a 2X4.
