April is a big month for framing. The second floor of the main house is getting framed and the concrete beam gets formed and poured.

April 16, 2000 Forms and scaffolding for concrete beam. This beam is probably one of the trickiest parts of the concrete work. Both the face and the bottom of the beam have a 210' radius curve; the resulting bottom edge of the beam is the intersection of two 210' cylinders. We're also forming clear plastic strips into the concrete as control joints to minimize any cracking of the concrete over time. We have the option of either leaving the plastic strips in place (and trimming them) or pulling them out completely. |
 |
April 18, 2000 We have some flooring on the second floor. Kent and John (architects) are shown here in the master bedroom discussing the upper deck construction. |
