The First Floor is going to be concrete on metal deck supported on open web steel joists. After Basement ICF Walls concrete placement for Stehr House in Highland Twp Michigan
on Friday Oct-06-2006, we were ready to get started with installing the steel posts and the First Floor support steel beams and floor joists starting on Monday, Oct-09-2006.

We were looking forward to a great productive week. Well Well, first on Monday, the truck hauling the joists to our job site broke down on the way -- thanks to Dave Dotson, and crew, they made a successful rescue, and then Michigan weather showed its colors -- it got cold, as if Winter had arrived. It slowed us down a bit but it did not dampen our spirits.

You will see from some pictures that I took, Dave Dotson, Matt Lincoln, and crew -- Brian, Darrell, Nate, and Zack did a great job today. We are now shooting for getting the structural steel installed, the steel joists erected, and the metal deck and the radiant heat tubing under the deck in place by the end of day Friday, the 13th of October, 2006. Let us see how it goes.

Here is a shot of some of the structural steel that has been installed. Work on installing the rim joist is in progress. The joists are top chord bearing on structural steel beams, and on the ICF walls are attached with light gage clip angles to rim joists. The rim joists are fastened to the iCF walls with Simpson Strong Tie anchors.
