Subfloor (Reverse Angle)

Here's the almost-reverse angle of the last post. This is looking N (the toilet and tub are on the other side of that piece of sheetrock). These two vertical beams are helping keep the second floor on the second floor. You can't see the detail here, but this is well-fastened plywood. There must be a fastener (nail? screw? we forget) every two inches.

Another shot from the NE corner of the house (our once and future kitchen), looking SW. This is a daytime photo, so you can see a lot more in the far corners of the house. One big change this last week is that the sub flooring and internal stair well framing has seen considerable progress. The studs at the center of the photo are temporary; they're helping hold up the second floor until the real wall is built, which will several feet to the right.

We studied some of the new construction over the weekend and we're happy to say we noticed that our builder is using a lot of lumber they salvaged from the initial deconstruction.
