Omgosh!!!!!!! We had never built anything til we jumped off grid in 2015..... when u said a 4x8 isn't 4 ft across.... this explains why even when we measured our 16 on center correctly we kept messing up at the end!!!! I thought it was us all this time every time we build something. I cannot wait to tell my husband this. Ty for all this info.... I'm mad we never thought to measure the actual plywood.... makes me feel so stupid lol but I'm so glad to learn it today as we have one more build to go.

@@DeepSouthHomestead my husband called on first break from work and I told him.... and he thanks you so much! Tho, we both feel pretty stupid for not measuring the boards lol who knew 4x8 didn't mean 4x8, not us ! Lol any how, I sure hope u filmed more of the build in this style.... honestly it was the best floor build and explanation I've seen on you tube... in real language and visually something I totally understood. Thank you!

Lay the middle sheet first and then go both ways to the end. Gives you a little more play that way.

@NewsThatMatterUsa 3 ай бұрын

4x8 sheets are most definitely a true 4x8 you may have thought your 16 on center was correct but actually it was probably wrong . When starting layout you actually mark 15 1/4 mark your line and put an x in the direction you pulled . Put your board in the x side up against the line

What great build series . I thought that you were going to lay the floor joists on top of the flat sill plate at first when you doubled up the sides . I was thinking the joists would push down on the flat sill plate but I see that you put a single board on top of the double sill and hang the floor joists that . What a great idea . No need for a bunch of hangers . Like the way you put blocking where all of the floor plywood ends will be . Smart . Not depending on the tongue & groove to hold up the plywood . Certainly a master craftsman at work . Smart in putting that double 2X10 for the load bearing wall and knowing where that wall is going to go. Looking forward to your next video on this build series .

Yes I agree...I am used to seeing the joist done on the sills

@briha3142 3 жыл бұрын

But, it looks like the whole floor is ‘floating’ the entire span (no support posts underneath that whole span) on all 4 sides!?! Is that a correct observation, or did I miss the part of the video where support posts are intermingled within the outer 4 sides? How big is this building’s floor plan? Thanks!
