Yeah, I'm trying to allow for tree movement. Especially since this thing is in 2 trees.
I basically have a set of main joists that are the crib for a floor frame which is now sitting on top.
My thoughts are that the "house" floor can be fastened down to the main crib at the 2 center joists of the floor frame and let the rest float. I'm hoping for enough flex out of the main crib between the trees.
The crib joists are attached with hangers where I used screws to mount the hangers and then used nails to anchor the joists in the hangers.
I've put deer stands up in trees with crappier lumber, what ever screws or nails I have on hand and a lot less planning and the damn things seem to stay up there till the tree falls over.
Lol
