Ive stopped working on TruyckStiva for a little while because winter is about here and we have had our first snow already so In order to continue to work on it through winter Ive started building a addition to the building to house it its gonna be 14'x14'

I dug this thing 14x14 by two foot deep with a spaded shovel lol in two days

Are you pouring a slab or building a deck type floor ? Are you trying to match the new floor height with the existing floor in the older part ?

[daniel_cogar]

building a deck type floor out of 2x6's and 3/4 plywood and it will have about 1/2 inch drop onto the existing floor when finished

That's gonna be a really nice truckstiva house!

I hope it likes it. it should fit in nice with plenty of room to work, plus keep all the snow off this winter.

if there's a 1/2" drop between floors, take your 3/4" plywood and lay/glue/screw a layer of 1/2" ply on top at 90* to the 3/4". this will reduce flex considerably.
