http://hometips.gregvan.com/floor_joisting_framing_secrets.htm If you're working in the construction business as a contractor, tarp and there were even a common construction laborer, it wouldn't be a bad idea to watch this video and learn more about house framing and home building. I've been asked this question often, should I use a solid rim joist or block I floor joist. A solid rim joist is easier to install, but doesn't provide you with enough support to prevent your floor joist from twisting. I hope these videos are helpful and if they are, I would appreciate any positive comments that you might have about them.

  • @dahistoryman That's a good idea as long as you have a choice. No matter what make sure you follow the building plans. If you don't follow the plans to the letter, you could be held liable for your actions.

  • a rimjoist is a excellent fit in this application ,but again a35 should be used in the spaces rim to baseplate then a rim block placed on top of that end and face nailed then 3 a35min should be placed in on the connecting areas.
