projects on the go
We got a load of 3/4″ plywood for the floor, pipes to divert the drain / vent stack, and more soundproofing panels for inside the floor. Now that the joists are set in place, we can get blocking done (got some joist hangers from Rona) and get ready for the next few steps. Slow going!
We were diverted by ceiling work in the 1st floor, but now we’re back!
The final joist is almost in place. Still missing one 8′-length of 2×10 to tie it all together.
Wow, the number of spliced, pieced-together pieces of s*** – we’re talking 2x4s nailed to 2x6s and everything else – is just incredible. Who would build in such a way!? So we’re almost done this task.

Our work was cut out for us today. Some ceiling panels fell down a few days ago, and I wondered if they would all, one day, coming tumbling down on top of someone’s head.
It turns out my hunch was correct. When beginning to take them down, they all came tumbling across my head – about 20 panels, all at once.
