Over the past few days we've been going flat out constructing a sub-floor. Its great to put into practice what we've been planning in the classroom. We started by setting out the borders of the floor and then and then digging the appropriate amount of holes the stumps based on the max span allowable. We then put the stumps in and plumbed them up. Next we had to mark the hieght on the stump using a laser dumpy and then cut off the tops with a power saw. Doesn't sound like much for two days but it also included working out max spans and bearer positions and sizes and things like that in the classroom. I'm pretty happy with my understanding of what needs to be done and my ability to do it so far.
