FLOOR JOISTS, STUBBING, BRIDGING. ETC. 



To have all joists and studs sized or 

 made even in width is desirable. Where practicable 

 to have material sized, do so. If impracticable, 

 rough material may be used. To size it by hand 

 may be 'necessary. Joists should be of selected 

 sticks, straight grain and free from all knots 

 larger then'l inch in diameter; 1st choice being 

 Douglas fir, End choice white fir, 3rd choice 

 yellow pine. Studding, headers, trimmers, plates, 

 etc., may be of any straight grain material free 

 from loose knots and knots which materially weaken 

 the stick. lay floor joists directlyupon the 

 sills. Where two foists forni the span, use the lap 

 joint; in all cases place the bow of the joists up. 

 Place solid 2";c6" bridging at the ends of each joist. 

 If span exceeds 12 feet, place 2"x4" cross bridging 

 in the center. {See Cut Ho. B. M. -9) 



Lay the floor first. Then, place floor 

 plates for both inside and outside v/alls on top of 

 it. 



Make corner studs of 2 1T x4" scantling 

 spiked together. (See Plan) The corner posts should 

 be assembled before installing them. Place studs on 

 top of floor plates. Double the top plates. In 

 splicing, lap them, at least 4 feet and arrange to 

 have the ends of the lap fall over studs. 



Double headers over r/indow openings and 

 door openings. If shingle siding is used, double 

 trimmers also. 



Place girts of 2"2c4" scantling horizontally 

 in all "outside walls midway between the top and bottom 

 plates.
