Next is raising the floor in the same room as the ceiling shown above. I'm raising it to match the room elevation in the house. After I finish framing I'll add the 3/4" subfloor and hire a guy to install the red oak finish floor to match the rest of the house. This room used to be a screened porch, and it is slab on grade whereas the rest of the house is above grade. The slab for this room is actually sloped which means I needed to rip the 2'x6" to keep the room floor level. And the slab has a 3/16" birdbath in it. All this just adds to the PITA this project had been.
