Today was a big day and the loft floor is up and finished.

It's amazing how fast work goes when you hire 4 men to work together to get this done.

The view under the barn:

The floor joists are 2x10s attached to 2x12s that are hung with bolts to the posts. Under those 2x12s we have 2x6 board running down to the concrete and bolted to the posts. This makes a strong floor that I can be confident in.

Tomorrow we start working on the rafters.
