4.30.2015

As they say, the devil is in the details!  And there are a lot of details that go into getting the deck ready for concrete.

Jim has the inside of the carriage house kind of set up like a workshop now which certainly makes it easier for him to work.  He creatively used the scaffolding platforms as a worktable for the saw.  He had some issues with the saw and had to spend some time this morning working on it.


It's been all about end caps for the last day and a half.  We started on some of these last fall but now it's time to get them all done - there are over 200 in all that need to be cut, placed, and welded.


Doing some end cap welding...


Jim is going to run electric wires through some of these areas, so he has to have those end caps with a hole in them so that he can run conduit through.  That will allow him to get electricity to various places in the space without having exposed wires.  Here he's marking the areas where the conduit will go.


Moving the welder over so he can do welding on this row.  This picture almost makes everything look like it is on ground level - really, he's standing in the bucket of the Bobcat 10 feet in the air!


More welding...


This section is all welded into place.  He still has to grind and paint the welds.
