Spring? | Vashon by Hand

https://vashonbyhand.wordpress.com/2011/03/09/spring

Just another WordPress.com weblog. March 9, 2011. The first day back on the site was cold but dry. Dad started back on the plumbing he’d left in October, Simon completed the framing on all the windows in the house and Mom and I worked on cutting out the doorways and windows. With most of the exterior sheathed and the rest covered in house wrap, the inside of the structure was very dark and very cold. Inserting it and securing it went so quickly, I didn’t have time to document the actual event. You are co...

Obviously many things have happened since the last post. I will attempt to catch you up. First, we finished building the forms for the stem wall and footing. From 2010 pouring concrete. This the morning of the pour, Simon is in the process of sawing out the hole in the form for the sewer line. Luckily we have...

Moving forward | Vashon by Hand

https://vashonbyhand.wordpress.com/2010/11/13/moving-forward

Just another WordPress.com weblog. This is where we are now. November 13, 2010. We pushed ourselves, right to the end, so when our house sit on island ended and we came back to Seattle, everyone needed a breather. Since the last post a lot has happened. Some of it involved clowning around. From 2010 all summer. I had a 2 week period between jobs and stayed with the men, working on framing the roof and taking photos. After many, many trips up and down various ladders. We had a roof. Si did a jig. Notify m...

Lining it out | Vashon by Hand

https://vashonbyhand.wordpress.com/2010/02/13/lining-it-out

Just another WordPress.com weblog. Heavy Machinery →. February 13, 2010. On Saturday, Si, Dad and I headed out to Vashon with stakes, flags, long tape measures, the transit level and the Stihl 015 (a small chainsaw). It was time to line out the footprint of the house for the guy who was going to do the excavation for the foundation and stubwall. As I’ve mentioned before, our land hasn’t been cleared since it was logged in the early 1900’s. There are downed trees everywhere, deep, so...You are commenting ...

Heavy Machinery | Vashon by Hand

Just another WordPress.com weblog. Operation Foundation Part 1 →. April 2, 2010. At the beginning of our site excavation I arranged for a local contractor to bring his track hoe out and level, clear and trench for our foundation. I must admit it is a very powerful and a bit scary to rend earth and move great trees with such speed. I assure you, great care was taken by all of us to keep our little forest as whole as we could. From 2010 operation foundation. This entry was posted in Simon. You are commenti...
