Main Floor Joists

 With the crawl space walls complete and bearing walls in place, the next step is adding the 2x10 floor joists. It went very fast since I did not need to cut and it was just a matter of placing them correctly spaced and rolling them vertical. The floor sheathing took quite a bit more time but made for an exciting advancement, since I can now walk around in the new cabin.
