An afternoon of progress. But does the soul some good to have the belt on and hammer in hand. You can always could on @ardington_design to throw in some big glass openings on us! Fun to frame, heavy to install glass... Tomorrow morning back framing. And then cottage to finish the mountain of paperwork and emails... #annanewbuild #framing #customhome #newbuild #walls #carpenter #progress #liftwalls
Its always a good afternoon to spend outside with the team. Started the walls of right at the #annanewbuild with this 35 foot by 9 foot section. The day flies by when you're having fun! #morningpaperwork #afternoonframing #framing #newbuild #customhome #plumblevelsquare #carpentry
Got ourselves a dance floor! Roof trusses on booked. Let's frame! #annanewbuild #framing #dryguard #customhome #newbuild #ottawahomes
Sometimes there is no saving the old... this section was framed ridiculously and then further compromised by a sawzall happy plumber. First we fix it. Then we get ready to go up! #annanewbuild #customhome #newbuild #carpentry #framing
Well, I'd say helical pile day was a success! #annanewbuild #helicalpiles #foundation #framing #customhome #newbuild
Who doesn't love helical pile day?? A foundation in a day for a two story addition, a deck and a wrap around porch. 13 piles. All installed and signed off by the engineer. Thanks to @technometalpost @techno_metal_post_ottawa their product and work! Design by @ardington_design Now, we frame. Its game on. Who else got a sunburn today at their office??? #foundation #helicalpiles #framing #carpentry #newbuild #customhome #moderncraftsman #keepcraftalive #layout
Site safety is important. Sign it. And enforce it. So nice to get a call from the neighbours this morning... at least find out our signs and letter were received and to let me know that someone had dumped a couple of couches into our asbestos bin over the weekend. Plus the fact that it was local garbage day in the neighbourhood. Also, if looking to get rid of furniture.. avoid someone else's dumpster bins. Let alone the ones full of asbestos. The white tarps are a dead giveaway. We always bring a letter by all the neighbors with a general job description and my context information. Sometimes it backfires, but often it creates a contact and reduces headaches during a project.
End of a rainy week and the original #annanewbuild house is nearly gone. Hydro will be disconnected Monday and then helical piles go in and framing gets underway. Demo materials are sorted and ready for recycling. First floor framing package is on site and clear and dry. Second floor arrives Wednesday. Let's do this. Cant wait to throw the fool belt on. Its spring. Time to build. I promise to try for more stories. Please feel free to ask and remind me. This will be new, but I'd really like to document more of this. #customhome #newbuild #framing #demo #ottawahomes #keepcraftalive #moderncraftsman
Ryan Fulton. Demolition specialist, but apparently 'Bob the builder' here. No offense taken. That dude can build! Picture compliments of grandma. Time to start buying more tools I guess! #keepcraftalive #moderncraftsman #demo #carpentry #keeptradesalive #safetyfirst
Throne is in... let the finishings begin! #delawareaddition
