Porches in Lincoln

We built two porches out of hemlock and oak for a client in Lincoln.  The small front porch features a slate roof, a king-post truss and a three-way joint called the english tying joint.  The larger side-porch has an irregular-pitch hipped roof.

Corncrib in Waltham, VT

As a foreman for a former employer, Building Heritage, LLC, I led the restoration of a 19th-century corncrib in Waltham, Vermont.  The building had been neglected for so long, it had sunk almost two feet into the ground.  We lifted the building, added a gravel trench and fieldstone foundation, made a new floor system, and repaired all of the post- and stud-bottoms, before repairing the unique ventilating siding.

Ghana

In the winter of 2008, I travelled to Ghana to build a residence/painting studio for a good friend, who owns land on the coast in the remote area of Cape Three Points, not far from the border with Ivory Coast.  I came up with a design that features a living area sunk several feet into the ground (to help keep the living space cool), a large screened porch that overlooks the sea and catches the constant sea breeze, and a two-level sleeping loft.  This structure was built entirely without electricity, and of lumber milled free-hand with a chainsaw.  The building is one of the facilities of the non-profit community school, Trinity Yard, founded by my friend.
