First Floor And Going Up

Willards of Willimantic delivered our 18' engineered Ibeams this week and yesterday with much appreciated help from Uncle Will, we installed the first floor. Working with the Ibeams was surprisingly easy, compared to conventional lumber.

I hope to get all the 3/4" sub floor glued and screwed today before the rain. This will give us a great jump start on what we want to accomplish over the weekend.

Willards will be delivering another load of materials on Friday for the weekend building frenzy. I must say I am extremely pleased with the quality of the wood being delivered to the job site. Every piece of lumber has been perfect, and because they deliver when you need it, the job site is easier to navigate. If I had gone to one of those big box places, I would have spent over $400 in delivery fees and would have to wait until they could fit me into their once a week schedule. It is great to have a place like Willards.
