Floor Joists and Supports

It was a hot one out there today!  We should be getting some cooler weather here soon though.  The heat didn't slow construction on our project.

Another view of the driveway.  Some fill still needs to be added on this side of the garage.

Materials staged Friday before Labor Day weekend. 

Starting to look like a real basement.  Support columns are in place as well as the headers and floor joists.

Side view of floor joists atop the sill plate and support header.

First of seven pictures from our front porch. 

An opening for the stairwell.

A quick look at the kitchen...  through the garage walls.

Garage meets the house.  The big dirt pit there seems to be a dump for  unnecessary building materials.

Garage.

Front porch looking forward.

Porch looking a bit to the right.  You can see a stack of flooring/framing materials yet to be used.

And of course a closer look at that stack.
