Building the floor and damage control

Crumpled roof sheets of scaffold pancake

So after removing the snow and taking away the scaffolding pancake we are now building the floor.
 The logs we had sawn to planks on the mobile saw mill last year have mold spores growing on them, we did not cover the stack in time and there was too much moisture. I have been told to scrape of the spores and leave the timbers in the sun and stack them in a dry place to stop the fungus doing any more damage.

For the beams already in the floor we removed the spores but I noticed on the parts not getting any sun it looks like it has started to grow again. So to hopefully stop this I have scorched all the timber using a propane blow torch.

Scorched timbers with herring bone bridging to stabilize floor joists.
