I have finally made to Nederland to see the construction first hand. First thing is putting in the floor joists. This is the layout for the salon. The steel beam is in the middle of the floor and provides support for the first floor as well as transfers weight from the second floor when it is built.
This picture shows how a floor joist is hung from what is called the shoe.
Behind the pile of rocks we see David and Chris ( Mike Smith's son working hard at cutting some of the lumber for the framing.
This is Brendon, who came Michigan to help Mike with this project. He is an experienced carpenter and we are very happy to have him on board. He and his wife Gemma are living with Mike. Gemma actually found this blog on Google search.
