This occupation is included in the larger group of pipelayingfitters, pipefitters, and plumbers.. The median wage for this groupis $4,781 per month ($27.58 per hour). Half of all of these workersearn between $3,602 and $5,651 per month ($20.78 and $32.60per hour).
When supporting joists that span 12 feet with no overhang beyond the beam, a double ply beam can span in feet a value equal to its depth in inches. A double 2x12 beam can span 12 feet; a (2) 2x10 can span 10 feet and so on.
My question is if it is ok to use 2x6's as my joists for the floor. The span to the beams will be at 7ft and I will be going 16 on center spacing. I am a first timer at this and would like all the help I can get. Any help or advise is greatly appreciated.
