Slow progress?

Winter has settled in here in Michigan and progress has slowed.  The framer and his crew have started to assemble the LiteDeck ICF subfloor and it looks like it's going to be an interesting system.

 2x6 wood joists are installed in the slots and secured from above with wood screws and plastic flanges.  Temporary supports are installed to create more stability for walking on and pouring the concrete.

 Long spans can be created since the poured concrete beams will support the floor.  After the concrete has cured, in our application, every other 2x6 will be removed and used on the second floor.  The remaining will be used as drywall nailers for the basement ceiling.

 Angle iron has been welded to the tops of the beams.  I think these will attach to the rebar that runs in the beam channels and mechanically tire the floor to the beams.

 Wood flanges hold the 2x6 in place against the steel beam.  These will be removed so the 2x6 can be removed.

This temporary support is attached to the ICF wall.

As you can see, snow is in the basement and it's predicted to be a cold winter and mild spring and summer.  Hopefully this bodes well for building.
