As a guy who makes his living doing both framing and finish work, I applaud you. Beautiful. And smart use of materials to keep the price in check.

I often will go through a property that is being flipped or gutted, and know immediately that the work that I’m looking at is a homeowner’s do-it-yourself special. It takes experience, judgement, and finesse to get it right.

I wouldn’t know from looking at your work that it wasn’t that of a full time pro. In fact, the only giveaway as I think about it, might be it’s so good. That takes time and unless it is a million dollar home, it is probably going to be done with less effort and detail to save time.

Nicely done. Just lovely.

3″ screws for the overhead 2×6 then nails for the rest.

That flooring is narrow, 3/4″ red oak, prefinished…generic big box store stuff.
