Floor Joists and Subfloor on a Walkout Basement Addition + Backfilling - House Build #10

In this video I build the floor system on my walkout basement house addition. Set the sill plates, roll the I joists, then install the floor deck. I also finish most of the backfilling around the foundation.

Amazing my dream Garage 👍

[@Nobe_Oddy]

It looks AWESOME!! It has come together so nicely! I wouldn't have been able to do it, thats for sure! And it's so cool to see the progress too.. I Discovered your chan as you were lifting the house, so it's a big transformation, thats for sure! I can't wait to see how it all ends up! :)

[@Wolfpupfab]

Thanks👍

[@douglasthompson2740]

You can 'X' brace with Simpson Strong Tie straps made for the purpose and also have the option of using 2x lumber which actually is stiffer and a better receiver of your nails. So you don't have to stop waiting for I beams. Gluing and screwing is the only way to go. Nobody likes a floor with bounce. I like to sheet with tongue and groove 1 1/4" ply for even more stiffness. Nice job. Once its sheeted the tarp will not puddle up so that is good.

[@Wolfpupfab]

Thanks for the input👍

[@doczinger]

Are the dogs thinking "Hope there is a new dog house for us in all this mess," and maybe "Hope the dude doesn't fall."

[@flyin3d73]

solid midspan blocking definately strenghtens the floor and its weight bearing capacity

[@Wolfpupfab]

I think so too that’s why I put in the extra work

[@justcallmesmoke9876]

Well dang here I am asking and as the video goes you already answered in the video

[@justcallmesmoke9876]

Anybody else watching wishing they could be out there helping?

23:28 Bridging blocks and I would set my stair stringers on the I-beam...

Your stairs in the middle of the garage on one side???

[@denis9450]

I would have thought a steel beam should have gone across the basement window

Hey question what do you do about the rain coming in when it does rain? Are u covering that whole area

[@Wolfpupfab]

I was just coving the subfloor with a tarp to keep water from getting in the basement before the concrete was poured. Now that is poured I’m not to worried about it

[@johnleach740]

Does this guy do windows too. Lol

[@Nobe_Oddy]

ummmmm.... why didn't you epoxy those bolts into the concrete??? isn't the whole point of them to hold the frame (and thus the entire house) to the foundation???? I wouldn't think the weight of the building would hold the house down in a big storm, right? I've just never seen them done without being securely attached to the foundation with either epoxy or the bolts secured in the concrete... 🤷‍♂ you're the pro... I have zero experience... I just hope you didn't forget to do it lol :)

[@Wolfpupfab]

They are concrete wedge anchors. Nice and strong
