We have
11 38 ft I Joists (3 1/2 x 11 7/8)
26 20 ft I Joists
23 18 ft I Joists
some LVL
and plywood that is already cut to stiffen the ends of the I Joists
and tools to work with them,
and the entry door that also arrived.
Overflowing with long I Joists |
On the right are the LONG I Joists; on the left some 20 ft I Joists. The far left is the stack of bundles of 18 and 20 ft I Joists |
In the back is a stack of the 3/4" plywood stiffeners next to a long LVL board |
The stiffeners attached to one end of the long I Joists |
turning the LONG I Joists around to work on the other end,
moving the 20 ft I Joists up to the house to alleviate space in the garage,
measure and fasten the stiffeners to the LONG I Joists.
The next day's chores are:
unbundle the 20 and 18 ft I Joists
move 14 of the 20 ft I Joists to the house as is (no stiffening needed)
stiffen the remaining I Joists on one end (8 (20 ft) and 23 (18 ft) I Joists).
All of this while the framers come and install the bearing wall and posts and beam and other supporting walls.
I'm glad my job is updating the blog. Bill has the overwhelming job of keeping everything going. I just support him in lots of ways. He is doing a tremendous job.
