Home Addition DIY Project - Framing Part 6 - Interior

Interior Walls

The 2 interior walls were built to define the spaces. The wall with the doorway separates the closet and the office, with a 30 inch doorway. The other wall divides the office the the bathroom, and doesn't need a doorway because it will be opened to the main house later on the right side of the picture. I included a layout below to help explain the pictures.

Ceiling Joists

The ceiling joists are supported in the closet by the roof beam, and rest on the interior walls in the other spaces. They are overlapped also to add strength to the joints and attached to the rafters on each side of the space. The span for the ceiling allowed for the use of 2X4s as joist. Next steps will be insulation, electrical rough, and drywall.
