Work is progressing well on re-installing the first floor timbers.  All of the oak beams have been installed and now it is a case of putting up the joists.  These are attached to the beams and the wall plates via metal joist hangers.

Just a case of bending the top of the joist hangers over and nailing them down.  With 6-8 nails per hanger, this takes a while!

Half installed with the metal joist hangers still to be bent over and nailed in position.
