Joist layout

The month of June was spent going back and forth with structural engineer (Ben of ABM Engineering) and my architect (Charles Schwenger). There are a lot of things to consider in terms of how the beam impacts the wall design, how we want to secure the joist to the beam, and how we will run the ducts. But more importantly, I was spending a lot of time working on my real job. Now we are in July, we are really getting close to the time I hope to start actually building the house which is some time in August/September. Good news is that we got most of the issues worked out and we are ready to work on the joist layout. Joe Di Paola from RONA is the man for the job. And hopefully I can get the joist layout done soon and get my building permit application submitted.
