Here's some pictures of my latest project. The living room floor had quite a bit of bounce. The floor joists are 3"x5" and span 15'. They are all notched to fit in the joist pocket on the sill plate and some of the them were beginning to split.

It looks longer in the picture, but it's only a 5' or 6' span between the columns. I'm going to take out the center column under the joint and cut it shorter so I can put in a 4"x6"x24" pillow block.

I have one more pad to pour, two more columns to cut and set, and then clean out all the concrete blocks and wood from setting the beam.

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
