Ian pulled in at 7, per usual, then got busy putting in the mid-span joist braces.  I fetched for him between trimming off all the shims that were used to level the west wall rim joist and then putting new shims between each joist and the west wall top header plate (so that the joists are resting solidly on wood vice just hanging on the nails that hold them to the rim joist).  Sean had some early morning meetings and had to stop at Goodro’s to increase the balance on my account, so didn’t arrive until 10.  He and Ian spent the remainder of the day installing virtually all of the rest of the ceiling / floor joists, with me cutting and trimming as they needed that done.  Beer and steak consumed, relocated yet another mouse to the Silver Lake parking area.
