What does the Bible has to do with building houses. You think the Bible said this, and the engineers took notes?! Look what the Greeks, the Roman empire, and the Egyptians build... with different gods. Constructions are build by engineers, not by God's or the Bible.

[@lschmidt5475]

Many people don't know this so want to share. INSURE your house NOW while you are in the process of building. That way IF something happens you are covered. Ex: you have exterior walls up but no roof and a wind storm comes and blows walls down. Your materials may still be covered. Or catches fire.. Check with your agent. I have had this happen to neighbors.....

Nice tip!

[@firstmate015]

Yes, great advice. My daughter is an insurance agent and she could tell you horror stories about this very thing. Insurance is just that, insurance against hazards.

Be responsible for your own actions and property. insurance is just a way for rich people to siphon your money away from you. By far one of the biggest scams there is.

[@richardross7219]

You can lay 2" x 12" x 12' boards on the forks to better support long boards when transporting. A large engineer's sledge hammer is often called a "persuader". Joists need bridging to keep them ridgid. Usually there is a code or instructions that specifies the spacing of bridging(aka diaphragms). It's easier and safer to put the bridging in before the floor. What is the stud spacing of the knee walls? They don't seem to match the joist spacing. BTW my grandparents were from Sweden, they never pronounced "Js" the way we do. You're making good progress. Good Luck, Rick
