Not the best photo, but one half of the living room is getting new joists. One broke while our handy man walked on the floor after the under layment was removed. Anyway, the progress is moving along. We have more supplies we need. Some blocks need tuck work, but we got 90% of the wood purchased.
We had trouble locating some of the supplies, such as cement anchors, screws, washers, and other items. At least we have a Menard's and Lowe's in one town, and a Home Depot in another. We have Ace as well, although they are the last choice due to prices being high.
Thankfully, our handy man has a trailer, making it easy to get the larger supplies to the house. Of course we pay him gas money as well. However, the weather was nice, and the last thing (during this big of a project) is "I'm tapping out early today." He did. He wanted to get a motorcycle ride in while the weather was beautiful. I don't blame him, but we are another day behind now.
We now move into 40°F days and 20°F nights.
Not a expert. Shouldn't your handyman put a vapor barrier on the ground before he installs the flooring Just asking, I do enjoy your blog have been reading it for many years.
ReplyDeleteHuge project! I don't blame you for being anxious to get it done. But then, house projects always take way longer than we anticipate.
