Framing Floors for the Trades

Kicking off a series of updates that will span the complete construction of The House That Blues Built—a 4,000-plus-square-foot, high-performance custom home currently under construction in Massachusetts that's being closely followed by both PRODUCTS and Custom Builder magazine—builder and famed blues artist Albert Cummings (whose new album is recently available) shares info about the team's progress, as well as insights on how better floor framing can make for happier subcontractors. 

With the home's foundation laid and framing underway, Cummings walks us through the jobsite, pointing out his preference for open-web floor joists.
