Vermont Plat House - windows begun

The windows began installation this week.



The windows which arrived on site previously are now being installed into the Vermont Plat House. I think its roots as a Plat House are showing pretty strong here even though the plan has been extensively modified.

0518 U House Construction Prints

Construction Prints for our latest design are nearly done

Now that its not so unusual for a house to be under construction, I have been posting more about construction process than design process. I don't know if people who read the blog care, but if you do, by all means let me know. If you want to see actual houses then I'll keep the emphasis there. If you like watching the progress of new designs I'll pick that up again.

In that spirit I'd like to report that I've been working through October and November to complete the Construction Prints for the 0518 U House design. A glimpse below of some of the construction sheets in progress. Many people have been interested in this new design, so I've buckled down to get it finished. I think it will be done by the end of the month for sure.

Vermont Plat House - Weekly progress

The main volume of the house is framed, garage is started.

The bulk of the framing of the Vermont Plat House is done and the carpenters have started on the garage. The garage is connected to the house and it is joined by a utility room. The utility room connects to a laundry room which leads into the house. The entry vestibule is also part of this adjacent structure.



The first garage wall is going up to the left. The house roof has been decked and felted.

Vermont Plat House - Another week's work

The main portion of the house is now mostly framed.

Its always amazing how fast a good carpentry crew can move on the framing of a house. The framing has really moved along at the Vermont Plat House this week. The main volume of the house is nearly all framed up and the garage will be underway soon.



Here is the back of the house, the side that faces the view and is open to outdoor living. Although greatly expanded it still clearly speaks Plat House.



This is the entry side and the side of the house that you see as you approach. The high windows make for privacy, and allow for cross ventilation through the house. The garage and entry will be at the far end to the left side of the house.
