Framing Around Cribbing | This Old House

From the creator

With the Bay Head house now lifted four feet and stabilized on cribbing, the crew has to frame the new first floor around the cribbing—a tricky construction sequence with improvements also planned for the second floor.

After last episode's lift, the Bay Head cottage is now sitting four feet in the air on a forest of cribbing—and the crew has to build an entirely new first floor beneath it without disturbing that support structure. Framing around cribbing is not standard practice; every beam, post, and joist has to be fit around the temporary supports still holding the house up. On top of that, the second floor is getting improvements that weren't in the original plan—changes that have to be coordinated now, before the walls close up.
