Day 54: Bottom Floor Post




Today we look at the bottom floor's layout, but first a look at a 'timber.' When the work is complete these two 2x10s from down below will look like other timbers. For that matter, when the flooring is put in place it will look like a timber from on top.

When is a timber not a timber

Now back to the issue of the day, the bottom floor's basic layout. If you look back to Day 51 you'll see aisle one which includes that braced timber you see to the left here. Aisle two, seen here, is a straight shot east to west. There's about 16 feet between the timbers in the row and 10 feet between the rows of timbers.

Below is aisle three. It's not much different in look than aisle two.

And at last the new north wall and aisle four.

Don't worry about the wood in the fore ground. That's the back of Roger's trailer. I couldn't get a photo from the east door without including it. What I'm trying to work through is that in the old layout that post center left didn't exist. Also most of the rest were in slightly different places which "seemed" to make the barn more roomy. The reality is the total square feet of the barn hasn't changed. We'll just have to work with the new layout.
