Basement Framing

The knee walls have to be framed up to full (8ft) wall height, then 3 interior loadbearing walls had to be framed.  Because of the heavy log construction, all basement framing was made with 2 x 8 lumber.  Pressure treated lumber was used wherever framing was in contact with the concrete.

After framing, sheathing was applied to exterior walls and interior partitions (to provide extra shear and tensile strength).
