The basement framing pushes on with a few days to go. Most of the walls are framed with a tricky corner finished recently. The duct work does not allow for the upper framing connection on one corner of a wall. This corner therefore needs to be tied together with the other framing members located adjacent to it. I feel we came up with an elegant solution to this problem Utilizing a false header system and tying everything together with some extra lumber and nails.
The Sellwood Remodel is my side project while waiting to get residency for Architecture school. This blog is designed to force me to document the process of the changes the home will undergo, offer me an opportunity to vent, throw out ideas and utilize the tools of our modern society. Please forgive my crude writing style, this is an additional point for improvement.
