Will This Change The Way We Build? THE GLASS HOUSE EP 2
What happens here
Lay out the positions for all joists on the main beams using a measuring tape and a pencil or lumber crayon. Mark both sides of the beams to ensure accuracy. For optimal stability and feel, consider using a 12-inch on-center spacing, even if code allows for 16-inch on-center. This consistent marking simplifies installation and ensures a straight, tight frame.
Goal: Precisely mark joist positions for accurate framing.
