I never took many pictures, especially of plain old square framing job. However, here's a few snaps from two interesting jobs I worked on.



Framing of an addition in Greenwich Ct. Project started with design drawings sufficient for building permit. Final framing details were established after the roof and load bearing walls were opened up. Loadbearing had to be transfered through to basement where pads were dug and poured as required. Framing was 290X45 rafters with 140X45 studs to carry slate roof under snow load as well as hurricane force wind conditions. Details of the dormer can be seen in my Gallery/Laminations section.


Framing of a cantilevered winding stairway with an in situ laminated band to reinforce the stairs and tie it into framing of adjacent wall (above) and parapet wall (below). This was part of the interior work on the above project.



I worked on two projects with this architect, His signature was all outside corners turning on a 90 degree radius and filled with glass. In this picture the loadbearing header was set back to rest on outside framing of corner opening with non-load bearing exterior wall carried by poured foundating below and hanging from cantilevered floor joists above. Curved plates for this type of construction were made from two pieces of 19mm plywood on site using a 110mm circular saw.
