The floor will be framed similar to the outside wall plates. There will be 4x4 metal braces mounted in 2 ft of cement with j-bolts spaced 5 ft apart. Then 4x4's will be attached to the brackets to span length. Floor joist will then go across these 4x4 supports that will be spaced 5 ft apart. Floor joist set on 16inch centers. Subfloor goes on next.

I can't picture that but it certainly sounds robust. Can't wait to see it!

Similar but our is a Saltbox style home, and twice the size. That is an interesting build tho. Like it a lot. No maintanance is the key IMHO

That roof seems like it would hold water instead of shedding it. Today was a very busy day moving dirt, and clearing brush/trees. Electric service required me to clear more land for their service poles, and the dozer operator cleared tons of brush where the 1 acre pond is going. He should be done by this Thursday with the pond, then it's hurry up and wait for it to fill and stock with fish. Super excited at all the progress.

1 Acre Pond going in.
Moving dirt, and brush.
Floor beam supports concreted in.
Starting on front. More on Thursday, and hopefully pond will be finished. We hired an awesome dozer operater. Very pleased with his work.
