How to Hang Floor Joists on ICF Block Walls
Episode 14: In this episode, John is onsite learning about how the crew hung floor joists off the LVL beam for the first floor. The web joists were specifically engineered and built for just our house and the ICF walls. The LVL beams were fastened to the ICF block and into the concrete used in the initial pour. John also takes you downstairs to show how wood framing is connected to the ICF block, in our case Fox Blocks. Our amazing wood crew managed to complete the entire first floor and the stairs in just ONE DAY! The benefits of using open web floor joists are discussed along with why we went with 9 foot ceilings in our basement rather than the standard 8 foot. Enjoy!
