Looks great Tim.
Is your lower level raised to be higher than the minimum habitable level for flooding? I'm guessing it's a fair bit cheaper building suspended timber than a slab on ground anyway.
Good work!
Looking at that makes me a little nervous.. remember how windy it was last weekend? :eek:
I'm only seeing one brace in the front/back direction.
How did you connect the pine bracing to the steel posts?
