DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
Today was an extremely productive day. We all met at 8:30 in the morning, loaded up the trailer with the roof purlins, and split up. Pastre and Elppa went to Lowes to pick up the metal corrugated roofing, and the rest went to the site. All we needed to do was [...]
ON Site-For this long weekend, Studio Vs keep working on site, Sweetgrass Farm. I am pretty sure that this experience would be my unique memory as a treasure. We had barbecue and nap there with cocks crowing and dogs barking.Foundation-Making sure of laying foundations on the right position and level is not easy.Deck-We had Studio [...]
Steel Plate-Finally I finish my drilling hole misson! My name maybe changed to ARMstrong right now after doing 2-day metal work. So does dear Professor Pastre think.

Sliding Door- Once getting into build process, another level much more precise and practical , more details need to be figured out. We updates the sliding door details on look from [...]

On Saturday, We are working on the decking system. And on Sunday, we make our wood piece into perfect shape. So [...]
After our trip to Southern Lumber yesterday, we learned of their gracious contribution to help out with our GAP shed, and we were able to order the bulk of our structural materials today. We will be expecting a huge shipment of lumber at the shop tomorrow so we can begin framing. Our open house is [...]
In preparation for our next meeting with John Moore, Studio V is in the process of getting together a booklet of Construction Docs. Revit has proven to be a great tool for us during this process, and we are moving forward quickly, hoping that by Friday our GAP shed will be figured out structurally down to [...]
