just subscribed. great channel. (side note, May I ask who created the animation/cartoon intro thing. I'm looking for an animator that could make something like that.) thanks

A professional cartoonist in Cincinnati made it. He's long since retired. There are quite a few websites that offer this service now. The man that did mine actually drew by hand and colored in the acetate 8x10 sheets just like the old cartoonists that worked for Walt Disney. I have one of the acetates framed and signed by the artist in my office.

Are there any girders providing support to the floor joists from underneath? Or all the joists simply supported by the joist hangers attached the outside beams? Sincere question. I'm used to seeing girders attached to the posts, and then joists running on top of and perpendicular to the girders for support. I guess as long as the deign meets code it doesnt matter?

The building code is a set of *MINIMUM* standards. It's like getting a 70 percent on a test. There are no girders or beams under the floor joists. You can always build much better than the code requirement.
