Girders: ( Support Beams )

          All the graded 2" x 12", #2 or better lumber ( crawlspace ) or Engineered LVLs ( basement ) needed

          to support the floor joists.

  Sill Plate:

          All the graded 2" x 8", pressure-treated #2 or better lumber for the top run of the foundation wall. This keeps

         moisture in the foundation walls from reaching the floor joists.

  Rim Joist:

          All the graded 2" x 10", #2 or better lumber needed for the perimeter of the subfloor.

  Floor Joist, 1st Story:

          All the graded 2" x 10", #2 or better lumber for the floor joists spaced at 16" on center to ensure a strong, firm subfloor.

  Blocking:

          All the graded 2" x 10", #2 or better lumber placed under log walls that run parallel with floor joists.

          Blocking adds strength to the floor system and adds support to the log wall.

  Subfloor Decking, 1st Story:

          All the 3/4" tongue and groove premium grade subfloor underlayment. These 4' x 8' sheets carry a 50 - year

          limited warranty against delamination and swelling from water for superior performance.

  Bridging:

          All the light tension, metal bridging needed for the floor joists at 16" on center. This keeps the bottom

          of the floor joists from deflecting thus preventing floor sag.
