We have spent the last two weeks tearing out the ceiling in the bedroom and part of the kitchen so I can get the upstairs floor started. I thought the house was cold before but once again the only barrier we had left to the wind was s shotty roof and a ceiling...we are down to the shotty roof now. Dad came by and helped tear out part of the kitchen. I had to be able to access the tops of the bearing walls to receive the floor joists and be able to fasten them securely. My goal is to be able to build the new floor overhead without tearing the roof off...that way we will have a platform when it is time to remove the roof...I am expecting backfire. The ends of the joists will be protruding out of the existing roof line but I will just cover them with a blue tarp...and as you may know blue tarp is an accepted roofing material in watauga county.
