STEP 1 - PREPARATION OF ASSEMBLY
OPTIONAL! Put plywood subflooring to match the perimeter of the foundation. It
adds additional stability and prevents the floor from sagging in the coming
decades as well as isolate the potential rotting from below.
NOTE: if building on a treated wood grid or plywood covered platform, you don’t
have to use the treated foundation beams at all. Just start building directly on your
foundation platform.
