"Free" Oak Lumber for Loft Floor

In this video I am fortunate to mill a huge FREE oak that I will use for flooring in the build. First as sub flooring and the remainder as finished tongue and groove flooring. It might not look like much progress but the amount of effort to go from tree to standing on the flooring is quite a bit. I also add bridging that both strengthens the walls and creates a nailing surface for the siding. In preparation for the roof framing, I placed 4X4s as top plates. This makes for a strong attachment point for the rafters and supports the gable end overhang.
