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. 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. 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. Sunday, June 21, 2009. A lot of time was spent organizing what was left of the old house, figuring out where it could be used in the design, cleaning and pulling nails, cutting out rot, and redesigning after I found something else that was cool. Dealing with the out of square posts-. View from on high-. Since there had been a lot of joinery previously cut into the timbers I had for posts, I opted to set the bracing in, rather than mortise and ...

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. 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. 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...
