http://bldgtypblog.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Following the BLDGtyp crew and our continued adventures in design and construction. Sunday, August 19, 2012. Air Sealing: Step 03 - Poking Holes. Now that the whole house is nicely wrapped in our Intello air-barrier, we have to deal with all the funny spots where we need to (for one reason or another ) break through that barrier. That would mean things like windows and doors, electrical outlets, plumbing and ventilation lines and all the other things that move around inside of our walls. Our first step, ...

Following the BLDGtyp crew and our continued adventures in design and construction. Friday, October 26, 2012. North side on our last day in Wisconsin. East side with the bend. Kitchen looking north-west (towards the lake). Kitchen, looking south-east towards living space. Bedroom - all finished and ready for furniture. Sleeping loft, top of the stairs. In the north end of the loft, we built a half-height divider to carve out a 'sleeping nook' which will be semi-sheltered from the rest of the space. T...

M.ArchNYC [Design Workshop 2008]: People Come and People Go. Some Without Goodbye, and Some Without Hello
http://marchnyc.blogspot.com/2008/09/people-come-and-people-go-some-without.html
Tuesday, September 9, 2008. People Come and People Go. Some Without Goodbye, and Some Without Hello. God it feels weird to say that. I finished off the sedum wings today too. Look how good that looks! It really helps to 'ground' the greenhouse. I can't even describe how much fun we had working together and we really did make something amazing. So, my friend, thank you for everything, and for gods sake have fun in Germany! Posted by Ed May. September 29, 2011 at 7:40 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Sunday, March 22, 2009. Ceiling Panels and Lights . . . But still no Solar Panels. Well its spring break - so we got to steal a few days away from school to finish up some things. A bunch of us came up monday to do some finish painting, fix the floor, move some lights and other punchlist type stuff. Johnny, Joel and I went back tuesday and installed the pavillion ceiling panels. I think it looks awesome. Posted by Ed May. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Tuesday, September 2, 2008. Just Another Gorgeous Day on Site. Oh . . . and School too I Guess. I just want to keep working on it though - I am so close to finishing up the trim work now . . . one more day and I think I would have had it licked. Sigh.

Star's goal is to be installing the East wall of the greenhouse by saturday. I'll do my best, but I'm not sure if we'll make it. Star and Jon, just hanging out on the steel.

M.ArchNYC [Design Workshop 2008]: Another Day Like Today and We'll Really Have Something Here
http://marchnyc.blogspot.com/2008/08/another-day-like-today-and-well-really.html
Monday, August 18, 2008. Another Day Like Today and We'll Really Have Something Here. Johnny and Jason setting the low roof beams. Today was absolutely gorgeous and we got a lot of steel up. We finished setting the columns, got the Channel up around the top, and got the low-roof beams and a couple of the small columns in. Tomorrow we'll put the small beams up and get the rafters in as well as the greenhouse base pieces. Steel work is so much fun. Jason and Carrie installing the Channel. Posted by Ed May.
