old man project, volume 4 ... a new house ... 2000 ...

 
here we go ...  we closed on the sale of the arlington house in april,
and we had exactly 6 months to get out of  the arlington shop where
the new owners graciously allowed us to work til the house was liveable.
fortunately we were able to get the same builder who built the shop,
in 1997, rob goepel,who had worked as my assistant for a couple months 
in the early 80s ... they did a great job on the shop, and let us work along with them
when they were building the house .. back view ...
dan's hand drawn plans ... i have the rest of the elevations
and floor plans in the slide show.
partial front view ..

 

cornices and cornice returns constructed on the ground before
tipping up the walls ... some skateboarding on the first floor deck ..
about the time of the previous framing photo, we realized 
we were not going to have any money left to have a party when we 
were done, so we had one then to thank everyone involved ...
had some live music and a great potluck.
wish i had better photos of the fun ...

 'came out good' as they say

i hope get some more construction photos together 
for a slideshow before too long

november 1st 2000 ...
rent a uhual, pick up the tools in arlington, move the furniture 
to the lawn in dorset, unload to tools into what used to be the house, 
              load up the furniture and take it to the new house .. piece of cake!        
 
i am starting to get a a house building slide show together ,,,
