I like to see that your planning ahead for radon mitigation. The perimeter pipe is cheap compared to doing it later. Great job :).
Have a great day

The Pex is in place.

 
The right parts make it almost easy.

 
Concrete going into place.


 
Floor joists are going up.
This seems to be taking forever but I am doing everything myself except friends helping with concrete pours,.. AND I appreciate the help!!

Great pictures. Did you price out open floor truss's and tji's. I'm having trouble getting a good price for the open web truss without redrawing the entire floor design. I was wondering what the difference is in price.

Looking great!!  I remember putting up my 48' floor trusses, what a job!

Question, why the open space between the beams?

addicted ; did not price open joists
Bill; If I had taken the pic today the third beam would be there ;) Had to use a come-along and three ratchet straps to get that third one up. I put every one of the joists up myself. Put 5 or 6 on balanced on the forks of the Kubota, drive behind the house where the grade is higher and set one end of the joists on the sill plate. Push one joist to it's balance point, go back around the house and up a ladder to pull it in, drag it across the room and up the other ladder,...... repeat. Longest ones were 34'. I think one more foot and I would have needed another person!

Had one friend that knows what he is doing, been doing it all his life. Traded his expertise for a little sawing job ;) The rest of us just did what he told us to.

Good deal...  You have a nice looking floor laid out with the Pex pipe ..  I used that for the water line in my youngest sons house a few years back when copper got out of sight....As I do work on my house ...plumbing wise... it is converted to pex as well..   Banjo
