DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
The push for a final design continued on Wednesday.

Both groups were talking, sketching, and measuring spaces in order to figure out proportions, [...]
Hello, again! Somehow I am always reporting on the day of a big review. Nevertheless, we've made it. After designing our own concepts and presenting them to the Conservancy, we now present to them our small group designs. As I'm sure you've seen, the models have been going up and final touches on plans and [...]

We are now getting to the phase of the project where the amount of time vs. work done seems to be slowing down. However, this is only how it seems, where in actuality, we are being much more focused on the detail and craftsmanship of the pieces we are applying to the project. When framing [...]
Do you find yourself dropping your nickels? We did, and so we came up with this really ingenious idea. By drilling a hole in the nickel and tying it to a string so that you can fasten it to your belt. Silly? I think not. So after another long day of work, we were able to [...]
The soffit on the roof is all up and ready to go. The way that the boards run the entire length of the structure and run out from the walls on either end really help to create a separate plane for the roof. This was a detail that was suggested by Marlon Blackwell when he [...]
