The Second Floor Installation Event

On Saturday, many people came to help us  erect the second floor of our house.  The bearing walls were installed earlier in the week.  The day's events included:

Installing the main beam which held the smaller I Joists
Moving I Joists from the garage to the house (not a small task)
Cutting the angle on some of the I Joists
Cutting the shorter I Joists to length
Installing the Hangers on the beam (after a run to the supplier to get the forgotten fasteners)
Installing the long (37+ ft) and short (20ft and 18 ft) I Joists and LVL boards

The following movie clip shows some of those installation steps, and was made in thanks for those people who gave of their time and shoulder grease to help in the effort.  We all had a great time and are thankful that everyone worked with safety in mind. 

Those things that still need to be done in the near term, for there to be a second floor are: 
                
                 cutting to length and installing those 3 I Joists that were 'extras'
                 installing blocking
                 installing the subfloor

Again, thanks to all!
