jcwa Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Re: *Hunting cabin pics* I'm jealous, I have wanted to build a new camp house for a couple of years now. The one we have is to small now. If I can make a suggestion, it looks like you have the 6X6 post 4ft apart. You should have them 2ft apart. The floor joist will start to sag once you get it completed, and all that weight is on them.

[/ QUOTE ] the 6x6's are actually 8' apart......the rim board you see is actually a double 2x10...designed to carry one end of the floor joists, a wall load, and the room-in-attic roof trusses above..... i design floor systems at work, so i'm hoping it don't fall down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
