Construction starts on the floor platform with a two-day timeline before the Amish crew arrives. Lumber is moved, and materials cost under $6,000. Temporary scaffolding aids in laying the floor system. A telehandler is introduced for lifting heavy eye joists, which are doubled for strength. Mid-span blocking is added for stability, and sheeting is installed for a flat surface. Future plans include second floor framing.
