We’re going... This is what you're going to run into in all your mobile homes. You’re going to end up with floor joists that go out and underneath the wall here, which is not much more, sometimes just a little bit bigger than a one by four with framing. But it is an inch and a quarter and usually no more than two and a half inches wide. But all this concern with us is supporting the floor and not losing any support. If you notice, usually the, the bottom framing of the framework here is a one by 2, one by two and a half. They don't use a full two by, but what we're doing is supporting the floor. So we're going to measure 15 and a quarter in between the two and in this case, there's a cable wire I’ve got to be concerned about. So I’ll end up putting the board back here a little bit. So we'll have a way to pass through. But I'll be laying it on it’s side from here to here, so I'll mark 15 and a quarter. But then I get into an interesting situation over here. I've got to support this wall also, which is actually supported by the floor joists right here. So it's not as important for the support, but I've got to be able to have support out here for the floor without it rolling off. If I just fastened to here the further out I get from that floor joists the more it’s going to roll as weight gets on it, and usually you put your weight up against the wall. So to help my situation, I'm going to build out. I'm going to put a two by something here and probably another one here to space it out. And guess what? There's a frame usually about three feet from, from the outside. And the every one of these floor joists sit on it and we're going to sit on that also. We're going to get some support going across there by sitting on the frame and fastening to the outside. So we'll carry you through that as we do that and you'll get some ideas. There's always another situation and there's always more to learn.
