Framing Started on Cliff House

Formwork and Treeplanting at Cliff House

The house on the cliff at North Pender Island is nearly ready for foundation wall pouring.



Meanwhile, we have planted some Red Alders and salmonberries at the front of the property, by the driveway, with the intention of restoring it to its natural boggy state.

Formwork on Cliff House

Formwork for foundation walls is half done. The bracing for the deck
means the concrete is higher than expected, but the bonus is that the
house gets a better view and a roomier basement.

Construction Started on Cliff House

The footings have been poured on my first real building project, a cliff house on Pender Island.

The structural engineer was over to visit the site and discuss the framing with the contractor and the steel fabricator.

"When does the steel need to be ready?"

"The crane operator gets back from his vacation in Russia in a month. So, in a month."
