October 25 – 31<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"TLC00091\"<\/a>After the Noreaster cleared out, the sun returned and it was time to frame the first floor.\u00a0 Here the guys are lifting all of the wall components up onto the first floor deck.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"TLC00094\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They lay the 2″x6″s (outer walls) or 2″x4″s (inner walls) on the floor, nail them together, and then stand the wall up. \u00a0 \u00a0 \"TLC00096\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here’s what I mean. \u00a0 \u00a0 \"TLC00093\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The porta potty showed up the next morning. It comes from a company cleverly (and perhaps a bit crudely) named Callahead.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"P1080593\"<\/a>
\nThe walls and windows on the first floor were framed in a couple days. The headers over the windows are 2″x10″s. The great room (left side in photo) is taller because this will be open-to-below and won’t have a second floor.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"P1080623\"<\/a>\u00a0Then they had to lay the rim boards, LVLs, and TGIs for the ceiling of the first floor. In this picture you can also see the two long pieces of steel that will be sandwiched between 3 LVLs to support the open-to-below span.<\/p>\n

\"P1080637\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Carlos tells me each piece of steel weighs 400 lbs.\u00a0 And it’s floppy. So it took 4 guys to lift it each one into the house. \u00a0 \u00a0 \"P1080639\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here they are\u00a0 lifting it in place.\u00a0 It had pre-drilled holes that lined up with holes in the LVLs so the triple microlam could be bolted together.\u00a0 How do they get that right?\u00a0 They did.\u00a0 They call this sandwich a flitch plate.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"P1080641\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It took all 4 guys to put the steel in place.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"P1080609\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In addition to the flitch plate, Peconic Ironworks also delivered 4 lolly columns for the ground floor.\u00a0 They will sit on these concrete pads.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"P1080653\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And then they put down the plywood on the second floor deck. Here’s the first view of the Long Island Sound from the second floor.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"P1080662\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After the second floor deck was finished, the guys framed the second floor walls.\u00a0 That was really quick because there are very few walls on the second floor.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"P1080649\"<\/a>
\nAnd another view. Beautiful, huh?\u00a0 At night, the lights of Connecticut can be crystal clear.\u00a0 New Haven is directly across the Sound from me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
