This post is longer than the other 2 so I had to get my dad to come help me get it up.
Have somewhere to put the joists in now.
Here's the beam I assembled for between the 2 posts on the other side.
Mounted the extra supports on the sides. My engineer friend said to use 3 carriage bolts on each plus a strong construction adhesive, and notch into the posts so there is enough surface area for the beam that goes across. Thinking about this now, I probably should have just ripped the hole deck off the house and then extended the foundation and built normal walls with large window holes in them... Hindsight is 20/20 I guess.
Beam is installed along with the hurricane brackets for the joists.
Most of the joists are in.
Sheathing is going on. It has a slope of 1/4" per foot.
It was supposed to rain so I had to cover it.
Lots of stuff for a bonfire on the farm one of these days.
