Is This RIGHT? Adding FLOOR JOISTS To Our BARNDOMINIUM - Should I Have Done IT Differently?

In this video, we are continuing to secure the barndominium by adding more bracing and by adding floor joists. There are some questions about the placement of some of the floor joist boards and now I am wondering if I should have installed these differently? There is definitely a learning curve when you are a do-it-yourselfer and building your own home. But, I am trying to do all of my research, ask those around me (who have done similar) and learn from our viewers. So many of you are definitely more knowledgeable and we appreciate your insight and support.

We are milling our barndominium - barn house out of wood that we are milling on our own sawmill. If you haven't followed along with our BARN Build, (which is now our barn house build) make sure to check out that series in our playlists. We finished the first slab last summer, we milled most of the timbers needed over this past winter/spring, added plumbing, put in a second slab for our garage and now we have started building our barndominium - barnhouse - lodge - our home, with 8 bents going up being the latest excitement! Now, we are working on securing the bents and adding to the structure.

Here's the video where all 8 bents are put up in one day- it was pretty amazing:

Here's the video where we share our change in plans and decide to turn our barn into our home:

Here is the video where we share our barn plans. Our plans are from ‪‪‪‪‪‪‪‪‪@BarnGeek‬ . We are excited to build one of his beautiful barns and turn it into our home:

***We are also so excited to have completed our sawmill cover enclosure (sawmill shed). Definitely check out our Sawmill Playlist to watch it all happen. We have shared the process of building our sawmill cover from the very beginning. We have a Woodland Mills HM130 Max sawmill and we live in North Idaho. The sawmill cover / sawmill shed is vital to continue milling for our barn build in the winter months, but it will also be a great way to keep out of the sun during the summer months, and of course all of the rain, in between!

Here is a link to the video that shares the sawmill cover / sawmill shed build from start to finish:

   • Sawmill Cover Build - Start To Finish...  

Here are the specs on the sawmill cover / sawmill shed we built:
