I decided to rework the old tack room in our barn and convert it to a cooler. I started by ripping the existing floor boards out. This was somewhat of a project... and required that they be cut them from the other side. There were no joists in the structure so I needed to put them in. I started by shoveling 2 bucket loads of gravel inside the room. Then to get things level I needed to drill into the concrete. Ooooh.
Scratch the drilling into concrete plan... I did drill the holes (12 of them), after 2 bits and 4 sheared bolts I decided to drill into the wood at hand and level with a plum line. I'm learning carpentry and our talented carpenter/painter/mason Matt Yauger has been tutoring me as I go. Learning lots!
Hangers in.
Joists in!
Insulation board in!
Followed by R19.
The best part yet... Matt loaned me his nail gun to put the flooring back in. Done in record time! Last board had to be ripped down... did it with my circular saw!
