Camp house Build

[joeu235]

Brother in Laws and I are building a camp house. 20 x 40. No permits required but building it to last many years. Hoping to keep the material cost < $12K.

No joist hangers? I see the 2x4 bottom rail to carry the weight of the floor joists at the ends. How is that 2x4 attached? Any additional hardware supporting the floor joists?

2 x 4 ledger is nailed every two inches plus joists are toe nailed. It will be fine.

Hello,
I can understand from a money point of view why you didn't use joist hangers.....for as many as you needed, that can be expensive. The way you did it with that supporting 2x4 is a great way of doing it. Everything looks right on so far and it looks like a fun build....enjoy and good luck !!!!

Well done

I'm betting the camp house will be less spartan than the trailer.

Nice job notching those posts to support your beams. I would have ran my joists on top of all the beams, but that's just me. Your way should work too. Are you going to add any diagonal bracing to your posts? Especially at the outside corners?

Nice job..

Eventually I didn't see the Weimaraner, was he/she "helping" too much?

The second weekend the truck was too ful of tools to fit his kennel. Sometimes though he is too helpful
