All joists in place

 We finished putting joists in the mechanical room/laundry room area of the house which is narrower than the main house. The lumber yard had initially sent us too few joists for this area. We called late yesterday, and they verified a mistake was made on the materials list. By 9:00A this morning the remaining joists arrived catching us off guard, just finishing our coffee, so we hustled up to the house to receive the order.

Making the design-on-the-fly opening to the crawl space slowed down our progress for the day. Tomorrow we'll be cutting the remaining joists into 13.5" lengths for bracing between joists on the pony walls. After that? Tongue-and-groove decking. 

Company coming tomorrow for 3 days (Quinn and the kids on their spring break), so more, longer breaks will be in order.😊
