Thoughts on architecture, timber framing, and sustainability. Wednesday, July 29, 2009. White oak posts and a 6 pitch roof to fit under the overhanging hemlocks near the driveway. This joint on the end rafters was a little puzzling but actually pretty straightforward to cut-. Most of the work was done in June- 26 of 30 days were raining and there were a lot of tarps involved-.

Thoughts on architecture, timber framing, and sustainability. Saturday, May 02, 2009. Here is a small project that I designed and cut on my own and raised with the help of my friend Splint. Its a 5'x9' Western Red Cedar pergola that was designed to go over a pathway and have two benches fit into the shorter sides. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Middletown, CT, United States.

Thoughts on architecture, timber framing, and sustainability. Friday, November 13, 2009. So this was a while ago, I want to say last Fall- yes because the clients were trying to get in the house be Thanksgiving (which never happened). They could have moved into the barn we raised- it was done in a couple of months! Tuesday, November 03, 2009. I put the last touches on the Outpost at Chip and Catherines' house- a cedar deck and the last of the screening-. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Long Now Foundation.

Thoughts on architecture, timber framing, and sustainability. Friday, April 27, 2007. I'm not sure how long it will be accesible but this. Is a great look at sustainablilty and fashionable restaurants, food trends, and consumer choices as regards drinking water. I like the convoluted logic it takes for people to realise that shipping water around the globe is ridiculous,. Wednesday, April 18, 2007. On the way to Heartwood. I am really stoked; I'll be taking seven weeks of classes:. I am a timberframer an...

Thoughts on architecture, timber framing, and sustainability. Monday, March 23, 2009. We had some time off around the holidays (when I built the garden shed for my brother) but we got back on it- weather permitting- in January. Our next project was a 36'x36' barn/workshop/garage in Middlefield that includes two sheds off the main footprint. Here we have bents 1, 4, and 5 built and pegged and ready to raise. Bents 2 and 3 will be built during the raising- -. This frame was 4 trailer loads of beams- it too...

Thoughts on architecture, timber framing, and sustainability. Friday, December 12, 2008. The cons- its still petroleum based insulation sandwiched between two barfboard panels. It's recyclable to a degree but it is certainly not a closed-loop solution like hay bales. . Before we cut out the openings-. Interior post panels and drywall-.

Thoughts on architecture, timber framing, and sustainability. Saturday, August 01, 2009. Been quite busy this summer- we bought a house in Middletown CT and moved in July (its a 1910 colonial) and between that and a bunch of projects I've been pretty slack about updating the 'ol blog. We were lucky that the main summer project was on a nicely wooded lot that provided nice cool shade (on the few days it wasn't raining! All the bents prepped and ready on the deck-. Inside the kitchen space-. Middletown, CT...

Thoughts on architecture, timber framing, and sustainability. Monday, August 11, 2008. Its been forever since I updated this particular blog- but now that we have moved someplace we will stay for a while, I will try to be a little better at keeping things current, though I'm not sure if I will ever find the time to go back and post about everything that happened last summer while I was at Heartwood. On to the present! I've been working with a small company called the Barnraisers. The first bent put toget...

Open Building: Extracurricular activities
http://openbuilding.blogspot.com/2009/11/extracurricular-activities.html
Thoughts on architecture, timber framing, and sustainability. Tuesday, November 03, 2009. Between timber framing jobs, I've been taking on some interesting side projects. Here is a bed frame that I made from old cedar fence posts; the clients were into rowing and had a cool old oar that we incorporated into the footboard. I put the last touches on the Outpost at Chip and Catherines' house- a cedar deck and the last of the screening-. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Middletown, CT, United States.
