Locate the 4x4’s and layout per the flooring diagram.
Beginning at the rear corner, measure and mark
1” from outside edge of 2x4. Set abutting 2x4 and
toenail into 4x4 as shown.
Measure along and mark the 2x4 as to set the
underlying 4x4 on a 48” center.
With the perimeter 2x4’s now in place, measure and
mark ends to allow floor trusses to be set on 16”
centers. Hold 2x4’s in place and secure by driving
two (2) 2½” screws inward. Repeat on opposite ends.
Next, measure on 16” centers at underlying trusses
and secure 2x4’s by toenailing a 2½” screw on both
