Building Concepts II course CMCC- Bigger Floor Systems Week 6

This week in total we have almost completed 4 different flooring systems with one more order for a 5th. The largest building of all of these different flooring systems we have been working on will be delivered to Readfeild, ME towards the end of November. The pictures below will display this weeks progress that was made on that larger project.  
 





Here we have assembled all of the three sections of collectively making the entire flooring system 12 feet wide by 24 feet long. We then broke it down and moved it to the bay inside CMCC's Building and Construction Shop where we continued the construction of the blocking and skids. 

In this photo I am screwing in 6" lag bolts through the skid and into the doubled box header. We recessed a hole, using a forstner drill bit, into the skid so the screw would counter-sink into the wood keeping the screw off the floor or ground when it is flipped right side up.   



Here you can somewhat picture our three sections of platforms flipped outward so we could install the blocking and 4" x 4 " pressure treated skids. 



Heads up.. this video is sideways!


Week 6 Progress!
