The crew made some great progress today. Both lower wings are complete. Tomorrow is going to be interesting watching how they do the vaulted ceiling. Because to they have a roof overhead and no crane to lift with they designed the frame different then normal. Usually they would build the center section as a bent and raise the entire section at once. Weather was also great today. Topped out at 50 degrees. I picked up my post plates and risers today and was able to do my painting outside. We had a low of -14 just 8 days ago.

Since it's all decorative and not supporting any load, why did you go with posts?

Are you talking about the interior posts that sit in the middle of the floor? If so they are supportive of the vaulted ceiling. Center portion is going well so far today. They built the entire center portion on the ground then used the forklift to set.

What are the plans for the tops of the timbers? Some kind of covering to hide building insulation? Or will lighting effects hide it? Jon
