PROJECT UPDATE (11.29.2010):

The CARPENTERS have been busy erecting the building’s shell….90% completed to date. We are enclosed/watertight and now able to heat the interior as needed. The flat single ply modified and sloped shingle roofs are in place for winter. These will be completed in spring after the exterior skin and roof drainage systems have been installed. A necessary repair to the sewer line where it intersects the city main has also been “checked off”.

This week we will pour the concrete slab in the multi-use sanctuary and follow with the MECHANICAL TRADES starting their portion of the project at the end of this week. The CARPENTERS will continue with the interior partitions. The exterior metal panels have been ordered…more on that later.

CARPENTRY: kasey is working on the entry link roof framing.

CARPENTRY: radek & kasey are installing the 3/4" plywood roof over the entry link and finishing the the wall sheathing at the patio door openings. 6' patio doors are used because for $300/, you receive 42 sq.ft. of insulating glass...can't beat it. there are 4 of these.

CARPENTRY: looking NW from simpson. Roof overhang framing @ patio doors is in process.

CARPENTRY: 2x6 "outriggers" are used to keep a thin overhang profile. The 2x6's are individually cut to form a curve and then banded with plywood.This element is used as a "layout point" for the roof joists to follow.

CARPENTRY: curved overhang has been cut and banded...now we can start the roof joists. view from simpson st. looking NW.
