final (?) joist almost done

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.

Next: 

  • 3/4″ ply to replace the floor boards
  • vapour barrier for main floor bath ceiling
  • 1/4″ or 3/8″ ply for main floor bath ceiling
  • pipes to divert & rebuild the vent / drain stack
  • soundproofing panels for floor
  • …and many, many more
