Building the floor in the snow and the cold

First, they had to clear a little space around the perimeter so that they could add the styrafoam insulation.

Meanwhile, they started putting the sill on top of the blocks (with a plastic foam pad under it).

The sill is held in place by straps embedded in the concrete.

The crawlspace walls are insulated with 1" of styrafoam.

The center beam is a 3"x10" chunk of Oriented Strand Board (OSB).

The joists are manufactured from 3/4" OSB and 2x3s.

The subfloor is good old-fashioned tongue and groove 3/4" plywood.

These guys have liquid nails that work in sub-freezing weather.

And they will be back on December 12 to put up the walls.
