Yes. The main roof is done. Next will be front and back porch. Actually, the back porch will be first. After porches will come trim. Omscaler has been mulling over the yard and fence as well. All in all, this should turn out to be a fine house for the occupants. The next project in the wings should be the Union City module. We need to lay track. Still planning ahead, omscaler
Omscaler is very happy to report that the blog posting has gotten back on normal schedule. That being said, the Hull house roofing is under way. This particular roof is the most unusual roof seen by omscaler. The house itself is an asymmetrical design which means the roof is also asymmetrical. All this means that careful planning is required to get the appearance as close as possible to the real thing. This aspect requires some extra time to achieve this effect. Anyway, we expect to be almost complete by next post. Measuring twice to cut once, omscaler
Readers may have noticed that this post has come out over two hours late. This is possibly only the second time since the blog’s inception that this has happened. The cause was a convergence of circumstances augmented by omscaler not planning properly. The contributing factor’s were going out of town last Friday for a family member’s high school graduation and the Memorial day weekend. The local library was closed for the holiday and omscaler did not visit the library on Friday. Doing this would have prevented the problem. As a side note, for the time being omscaler does not have internet at home. Thus the need to visit the library. At any rate, The William Hull house has all walls up and the roof deck as well. Next will be the roof proper and then porches. Details will follow. Humbly moving along, omscaler
Many years ago people with a large stomach were said to have a bay window. Omscaler reports that he has two bay windows. Neither on his person. Omscaler is very happy to say this. As this post is written, both bay window assemblies are ready to install. Also, going in are main walls. We take little steps at this point. As a point in fact, some additional laser cutting was needed for a wall section. Making slow progress, omscaler
Currently in progress are the bay window assemblies. These are two story bay windows. Hence the upper bay windows will need floors. Omscaler feels up to the task. Also, new laser techniques were used to assist in the making of the bay window walls. All in all, the new methods are producing a crisper appearance. Looking forward to the next steps, er’ floors. Omscaler
Yes. Omscaler is in pane. Making panes that is. Actually, windowpanes may all be complete as of this post. More specifically, panes were applied to all frames including front and back door windows. Naturally what follows is installing frames and doors to house walls. This will be done before attaching walls to each other. Looking forward to seeing the completed dwelling, omscaler
Omscaler is continuing to work on the William Hull House. Many components are ready for assembly. We have been able to use a new method to make bay window sections. This approach gives a cleaner appearance and is easier to assembly correctly. Actual window glazing will use the puddled glue method for the same reasons. Regarding the above caption, it was pointed out to omscaler that this is a free standing dwelling and not an attached townhouse. Omscaler needs to be correct on as many points as possible. Building on, omscaler
