Left Up

Euclid crew members are busy raising and connecting the timbers on the left side of the house. 

View From Breakfast Room

The arch shown separates the breakfast room from the kitchen. The arch in the background is the entry into the dining room. 

Looking into the Kitchen

This view is from the great room looking into the kitchen. The six inch wide beams shown are connecting the larger beams on the kitchen ceiling. 

Timber lines on the Left

OK, from this picture of the back of the house they are on your right. Euclid is now constructing the left side of the house. The bent next to the crain, that seems to be held in place by one post, is in one of the upstairs bedrooms. Fall has come to Red Pine Canyon. 

Soon the Cupola

The reinforcing arches and such continue to be assembled to the first four bents. Euclid is currently working on the Cupola 

Side View

In this view you can see the connection between the third and forth bents

Connecting the Bents

Today the fourth bent was raised and the process of connecting one bent to another was begun.

The Timberframe

September 5th, 2006 - We are finally raising the timberframe. Euclid, led by Joey, are putting together the puzzle pieces and using a crane to tilt up the 'bents'. This is the first one to be set in the great room area. The floor is warmboard which will eventually have radiant heat tubes running in the groves.

The second timber goes up!
A view from above the front yard (above the excavation where an eventual waterfall will cascade.
This is an earlier picture, before the radient warmboard was finished on the right side of the floor. The floor joists are evident. The metal ('b decking') on the porch area will support 6 inches of concrete that was poured on Friday September 8th (picture coming).
