The lumber has arrived and framing will start very soon.
Engineered I-Joist and LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) boards will replace conventional lumber in some areas. The I-Joist should have less "bounce" in the floor and is a good choice for the long spans of the very open first floor. The LVL boards will be used overhead for the large openings on either side of the living room.
AdvanTech Flooring System is a tongue and groove floor that claims a stiff, quiet floor. It will be glued, nailed, and then screwed and should never squeak.
Exterior walls will be 2x6 framing and the extra two inches should allow at least a R19 insulation.
