Metal Brackets, More Windows and Lights

9/24/2013

 
We've never put the house plans up here for you all to see, so unlike us, some of you don't know what this structure is destined to look like.  That's an interesting realization!  Maybe we should, or maybe we should just keep you in suspense?

Well, it will serve as a hint to say that there are lots of locations where rafters will meet beams, and in some of those spots we will need to have big metal brackets to bolt the two members together.  Late this morning we met with Jay and David, our favorite metal fabricator and artist, to talk about what David might do to make something more interesting than a big black metal plates to serve as the brackets.  We brought sketches of what we need, and Jay will get back to David with the final details on the size of the bolt holes. Although one never knows what David will come up with after handing over a project to him, the results are always spectacular.  David made our front gate and the fire pit at the barn.

After the meeting with David we went with Jay to Jerry's to look at some of our window options, and then over to yet another window dealer to look at yet more options.  We're getting close to pinning this one down, just waiting on some quotes so we can do an apples-to-apples comparison.

Amazingly, after re-fueling ourselves we ended up with enough energy to go BACK to Jerry's to look at light fixtures and fans there, which we had not yet done.  We were tuckered out by the end of the day...
