Timber Frame

Today I got a call from David at Custom Woodcraft Builders to inquire about when they would be able to erect the timber frame. I need to have the concrete contractor give me more detailed information about completion dates. There is a need to have three different contractors on the site before any final slabs can be poured: electrical, plumbers, and the installer of the heating system. The heating system for the addition will be comprised of a system of plastic tubes set within the slab allowing boiler heated water to run within them warming the slab.

Construction 9.21.11

Today is the first day of the rest of the project! I will be providing daily construction reports from the site of the Cabin(s) project to give accounts, challenges, successes, and maybe a little insight into a design-build start-up firm! As I stated with Wes my client, this foundation work accounts the fist time material is added to the project as opposed to removing material like excavating dirt, or demolishing drywall in the existing house.

Formwork for the foundation walls are being assembled now on the addition. The garage walls and footings are complete and we are now working towards the north side of the site towards the existing house.
