Teahouse floor construction
Now's the time to fix the floor. The first job being to lay the 4" x 2" softwood floor joists.
Seven joists were used fixed by galvanised brackets made for the job

The space between the joists were filled with 2" x 2" noggins
Each 8" oak floor board is nailed down separately with cork strip
around the edge for expansion.
Ready to start nailing down the boards
