Hey Mo, que pasa?

This floor is the ceiling for a lower floor. I am voting for clear plexiglas in the reciprocating openings around the posts; there will be knee braces underneath the floor and it would be sweet to be able to see through the floor.

Mike, let's, for the moment, assume that we are going to use green oak for the floor beams and the decking. I am expecting a significant amount of shrinkage, no doubt about it. The decking will sit in rabbets cut into the reciprocating timbers. We will be giving the entire floor surface a grind and a rough sanding before finishing. What part of this would give you concern?

Thanks for the good luck wish; I appreciate it!

Cheers, Chuck
