Framing day 10

Today is framing day 10. In the morning RONA delivered my 3rd subfloor. Today’s Nowrūz or the Persian New Year or Iranian New Year. The framer Shaun is from Iran and since his helper did show up today he’s taking today a short day. Finish up a bit of work then go home early to celebrate the new year. Happy new year Shaun.

All the material needed for the 3rd subfloor are now all lifted to the 2nd floor and ready to go for tomorrow. You can see here boxes of joist hangers.

And here’s all the joists long and short that will make up my 3rd subfloor. Even though I call this my 3rd subfloor, majority of this is also my roof. There will only be a very small 3rd floor area.

The front shade is now finished, including the sloping of the top of the deck. Here you can see the deck on the south side which is almost flush with the top.

And here on the north side, it’s about 3.5 inches beneath the top. The entire deck is also sloped down back to forward. I will be creating a scupper at the lowest point outwards so that the water will flow out and away from the house.

Here’s a show from underneath showing how the shade is also sloped back to front. So that water will flow to the front edge and to the north side.

And this is what the entire shade looks like.
