DAY 87: Bracket hic-up

Upper left wall shows 4 silver brackets.  Those are the brackets that the floor joists rest inside.  On the engineered plans the brackets were to be placed on ALL the walls.  We only have the brackets on the East and West walls.  Since we have concrete walls, it's a big hic-up.  The brackets were placed in the walls when the concrete was wet.  Kodiak Builders (they are doing the framing) has been great to help.  The brackets that go on concrete were going to be $70.00 a piece.  However, they found someone to manufacture the brackets for $5.00 each.  Today our problem is that Brent can't find the right screws for the cement.  It's going to hold up the framing.  Ugh.
