Construction Continues
Posted by dirttodone
Construction the family's Lakehouse continued over the holidays. Below are pictures of the main level construction.
In the photo above, the loft floor trusses are about to be placed. These floor trusses are 24" tall and designed to clear a span of 28'.
What you see here is the garage end of the home. Two of the three men are standing on the
garage floor. Under the 3 stall garage is another 3 stalls of space.
Look closely at the two vertical log posts holding up the LVL header. This is where the log stairway to the loft is going to be, and carpeted stairway to the basement level.
Loft floor trusses installed.
Here we have the joist hangers put on by the builder on the LVL ridge beam before the crane lifts into place. This ridge beam is engineered by Golden Eagle Log Homes to handle the heavy snow loads that this roof will encounter.
Here we have the crane beginning to put the roof up. The two large openings in front here are the garage door openings.
