Has anyone heard of this? When I was looking at a church renovation job in southern Minnesota, the head of the building committee said that this is how the floor was framed. Then he said, “I don’t know what that means, I hope you do.” I had to admit I’d never heard of it. I don’t even know if it was wood framing or steel. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance, Chris

*Bob- that is one cool floor!!!
*Chris - I did a floor once in a new post and beam building that consisted of 2x4s on edge glued and bolted together sitting on top of 4x12 floor beams spaced six feet apart. The architect refered to it as an "English floor system".
