| Steel Lally Column in basement supports floor above at corner of stair |
I was on a job site and the carpenter was lamenting that the spray foam insulation covers up all the framing. He likes the framing. He likes seeing the bones of the structure.
But mostly we cover it all up. Except for timber frame, where the structural frame is left exposed inside the space, most of our construction methods hide the structure behind wood or sheet rock.
Here are some before and after photos with the structure exposed (before) and the final product after the structure was all hidden by the finish materials.
