The sun came out today nice and strong hoping it will dry things out. Not to fun to walk around outside on the job site with all the mud. I had a very small visitor today that was extremely aggressive. He kept following me along the wall trying to jump on me. He was defending his territory I suppose.

The flooring system we are using is an I-joist instead of the traditional 2x lumber. I had seen my dad use it once before and started reading up on them. I loved that you can get them in long continuous lengths. Ours are 9 1/2 inch tall by 36 feet long. I had my wife help me carry and hoist the wobbly thing up on the wall. Then we had to step back and take a look.

Here in this last shot you can see I have framed up the bottom run of stairs and put some temporary stair tread out of a mix of 2x4s and 2x6s. Above in the frame a few more of the I-joist can be seen laying on their sides.
Next time we should be getting some of the first pieces of floor sheathing down.
