Raising Day - Floor Joists

Once the 'Bents' and the 'Bays' are all raised and connected, we can fill in the remaining pieces in the loft floor area and the roof. Many designs contain a loft with exposed joists to the living areas below. Joists are typically smaller pieces than the major 'Beams' they connect too. Often enough, they can be set by two men working from ladders. Although, there are times when they are long enough that the crane will be utilized to set them into position.
