Thare be Beams out there...

After finishing the pylons and installing a new pressure treated 2x6 across the left wall, I could get started installing the floor joists, then I ran out of screws with needing only three more to finish the last hurricane strap.
FYI: lathe screws are really good for installing joist hangers, metal brackets, mending plates, etc.  They have a superior shear strength and if you need to you can take things apart.
Still need to finish the last two 16 footers on the center of the house side, but I was pooped after working all day.  They are attached on the left wall side though.
Pretty soon I'll be leveling up...

 If you look to the right that's where I lag bolted the new with the old, for a continuous level floor.
 THis is the corner where I had to redo the most of it.
 There it is, all freshly mortared up.

THis was the center of the left wall, the top two layers fell apart, but I fixed it.

I filled up bags of cans to recycle, it's a very cheap hobby, that pays, and best of all I found over three pounds of copper, and a handful of brass. Did a good deed, returned a debit card to the Texas Bank location, looked like someone was pulling that magical device out of her pocket and the debit card fell to the ground....I assume the bank people picked it up when they were unlocking the doors on monday. Also found a leather toolbag, with tools in it. This is the hill to get out of Brownwood, as the city is in kind of a bowl that creates sort of a weather bubble to keep the rain out. This is the green sign you can barely see in the first pic. Made it, 9ish miles, not much to see, was looking for those junk stores that were there when I first rode past, they weren't open.  Didn't find my fellow dumpster diver's place either. Here's the toolbag, I gave
