Framing Week 2 Day 4

The subfloor is in place and all the downstairs walls have been marked with chalklines.  We can walk around and see the rooms!   We think tomorrow they'll start framing exterior walls.  They may not tip them up yet.  Just building and staging them.

We've had several decisions to make about the back patio framing recently.  Today was how we want to tie a beam that runs into the side of a post.  We opted to have them notch the post and bolt it from the back, as that sounded like the easiest and most solid connection.  It will also fit with the look of everything back there...no exposed brackets and a timber frame sort of look.
