Well, the university had been closed for business Monday through Wednesday. So I finally got back to work on the basement floor project. I made pretty good progress. Nearly all the structure is in place for half the floor now. Actually more than that since the three main beams are already in place, I am now just putting in the joists and all the blocking. The blocking is very tedious. Trying to cut chunks of 2X4 to place under the joists and at the same time trying to cut them to force the joists to be level left to right, as well as level with the adjacent joists. Never-the-less, steady progress has been made.
Another few weeks of snow days and I'd be done. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University. E-Mail: [email protected] Tel: (412) 268-9081
