Construction Progress: Week of Mar 4

This framing was completed for all exterior and interior walls. With all the exterior walls framed out, work began on framing out the bathroom and the inverter closet in the bedroom module. This work was accomplished while the floors for the third and final living module were being squared and leveled.

Once the living modules floor is completed the framed walls can be secured to the floor. This process should only take a day or two. So hopefully early next week the full house will be coming into reality.

As touched upon in the entry form “Construction Progress: Week of Feb 25,” the panoramic windows have been framed out. While not erect, the solution to both the structural and energy lose issues can be seen. In order to carry the load from the roof down to the ground and also to help minimize the energy which was bound to occur through this panoramic window, the solution was to frame out the window in the corner by continuing the stud through to the floor joists. This process is covered more in deeply in the entry “ELEMENT Design Development: Panoramic Window.”
