I hope it's happy in its new home.
I had envisioned it on the kitchen island but it moved to the dining table. They didn't even have the dining furniture when we first spoke of this project and it looks amazing there.

It's perfect. Thank you again so very much. I absolutely LOVE it and it's not even in my home.

I know Ashley loves it a LOT. And my brother thinks it's super neat like I do.

Ashley noticed the step routing on the underside right away and was super impressed. ;)

I know my pic is canted lol. 6 hours straight in the crawlspace with a sawzall and a 3lb sledge, I'm surprised I can even stand. I skipped being sore and have went straight into the pain zone.

Pounding pud with a 3lb sledge, in the crawl space? Sounds serious.

Raising the sub floor and replacing the rim joists because all the wood was rotted. The brick/vinyl siding wasn't sealed where they meet so the water ran down the exterior door casing and rotted everything underneath the threshold

Pressure treated for sure. Really needed to trim that 2x10 but a 2x10 came out and a 2x10 is what needed to go in but after 8 years of settling and the water damage, the new 2x10 didn't want to go in. After 6 hours of fighting it, it still wasn't seated all the way. It even has 2 lag bolts coming in from outside of the house that wouldn't draw it up. So today he's going to have to take a skillsaw and rip it to get it out and start over with a new 2x10.

I told him we needed to be careful jacking the subfloor but he said fuck it, he didn't care about the tile, he wanted the 2x10 to go in. So we wound up cracking one of the tiles in the breakfast nook and still couldn't get the damn thing seated all the way.

Try swinging a sledge to drive the new joist with this much swing room. There's about 6 inches between it and the next floor joist. I scraped my knuckles on that cinder block wall bc my brother doesn't have any gloves

The pic doesn't show it really but of course the bottom of the new joist and the one next to it are even
