The Beginning of the Main Floor

As of Saturday, September 6, about half of the joists which will support the main floor of the new parish hall had been installed. The joists are made of "manufactured lumber," with wooden frames around oriented strand board centers. These joists are stronger than conventional solid-wood lumber, and more than half of their weight consists of reclaimed fibers from sawmills. In the photograph above, the wall that separates the new parish hall from the existing church is visible at left.
