Installing Joists and Sheathing the Floor ||14x14 Home Addition||

Hangers on overhangs should be installed upside down.

I’m a novice building my first 12x16 Platform, for a wall tent, question why did you double up on the outside rim joist? Thank you

you canter levered the end. will it be strong enough for the outside building wall?

Why only one hanger in corners instead of 2 2x10 strong tie hangers?

You attach the end joist to the ledger with a concealed hanger. Then you sister another joist to it. Does the sister joist not get a hanger? And how do you attach the sister joist to the ledger?

I'm going to build a 14x14 storage shed. I see you used 2x10s. Would 2x6 be sturdy enough since there won't be foot traffic all the time?

Heres what I don't get. I see everyone leveling out the joists at the ledger board side before installing the hangers, which makes sense, but then on the beam side they just lay the joists on the beam and attach with the straps. It seams like that end never gets leveled out like the ledger board side. Everyone must have a wavy floor/deck on one side.

The one thing if someone has ever built a deck is to never put the Joist holders before . All wood joists have different heights and this will make your decking wavy. First mount the joists and then put the holder from beneath so it tightly supports the joist. Realized this within 5 minutes of building the deck

Was the bearing beam to short? Noticed you added 2x4s on top of the beam?

Bro I have a metal roof and I add on rafters to my existing metal by screwing wood into my existing roof to build rafters without cutting anything out

What size joist did u use for the flooring

I had a guy do add on the ply board wasn't like urs it has alot of red flags so I had to remove all ply board.this will help out alot.thxs.

Do the crowns go up or down for the floor

Are the floor joist treated?

You left out leveling, ?, did not see it, I was confused about joist hangers "later",pleas explain how that works. Thank you Ron

Mama still got the moves…..

I see you put a 2x6 flat on top of your beam? I must have missed that in the beam video. Was that to prevent water getting in between beam boards?

Really nice work!

The 2x10 joists are never a consistent width. Just laying them on the outer support beam will make uneven floor support won’t it?

Great video......question if I'm building a room 14x14 what size of 2x6 do I get for the floor????? 14 feet or 16 feet?????

don't know how to comment this project. Probably need to put flashing tape between ledger board and plywood. Joist hanger wrong size. Also installing joist hanger after installing joist ? Using nail instead Simpson strong screw? Plywood for flooring?

Long span for a 2x10

Отлично 👍

So that span is ok to be connected from end to house with no support in the middle?

What is the logic for the 2 x 4 on top of the beam?

What size nail are you using for nail gun?
I'm read nails that u hammer should 3 1/2
Nail gun should be 3 1/4, but when putting 2 joist together it's only about 3 inches, I figured 3 inches makes more sense,

Did you flash behind your ledger. Great job though man.

If I’m using this same layout for a deck? I see that you used 2x10s could I use 2x8 and have the same 40lb load? And same stability? Or do I need 2x10 being a 14x14?

Can I use this same set up for building a deck minus the sheathing ?

You did awsome job bro we are going to addition almost same 16x14 , Thank you for share your experince God bless you & your family

Why not concrete fundation instead of wood?

Great video

Good job brotha

No underfloor insulation?

Why is the double board around?

I thought this was for a deck. Do I need to do the same for just a deck? Like the size of the joist and things like that?

Typically the floor joists will run the same direction as the ceiling and rafters, this is a calculation that needs to be made before you dig you footings. But nice work.

So is that ledger nailed into the the house or concrete?

How much does it usually cost to have a 14x14 built?

Thank you for sharing, great job. Did I read correctly that your concrete posts are 4 feet deep?

so when did you check for square?

In Canada we use joist hanger nails not normal nails in a nail gun.

What did you use for foundation?

Good work.

I must say, You did a wonderful job by yourself. You made me believe I can do it too. Thanks

Good job!!

How many feet is the collum away from the foundation of the house, how deep and is it standing on top of a footing?
