Lots going on - floor framing & subfloor installation in March

Sorry for the long delay in posting.  A trip to Hong Kong and Spring Break occupied much of March, so I'm a bit behind.  These photos were taken in late March, and things are finally taking shape in this quick visible progress phase of construction.


The framers are doing great work, using engineered I-beam type floor joists, laminated beams and a steel I-beam that carries the main weight of the house from front to back.  The photo below shows Lael sweeping out what would conventionally be a 7x9 walk-in closet, but may become her two-level playhouse with desk area and futon (her idea).


The image below shows the 5 inch laminated beams that support the stairwell opening and the walls above.


This photo shows the steel beam, the laminated beams and the engineered joist structure.
