 February 20th, 2014Structural steel installation continues today. And there’s still about at least a day of work left. Let’s hope mother nature doesn’t throw too much bad weather at me to cause any more delays. Here you can see bolts being tightened and then later they will put some primer paint on. The same kind of work is expected for at least another day finishing up all the connections.
February 19th, 2014Day 6 of structural steel installation. Today the crew from AMX Steel continue to finish up all the moment connections on my steel structural. If you looked at the full resolution photo of the picture from past days, you will notice that all the steels columns and beams are only secured by 2 or 3 bolts and not all of them are tightened. This is so that they can adjust the frame to level and square. Once they got the structure where it should be, they then install all the bolts and tightens them. That’s what’s remaining for the next few days. They pretty much finished the back 1/3 of the house including the balcony by the end of the day. And they are going to continue to work on it for the rest of the week. Here’s a picture of the now completed back side of the house. You can see all the moment connection’s bolts are now installed and tightened.
February 18th, 2014Today is supposed to be day 5 of the structural steel installation. But the winter weather decided to be blowing snow today. The crew came on site, assessed the condition and decided that it is not safe for them to perform the work. So nothing happened today, the work will resume tomorrow.
February 14th, 2014Today structural steel installation continues. Most of the beams are secured to the column using a moment connection. But some of the beams are just simply welded and bolted. Here’s a video of the crew cuts the steel beams to fit and weld it together my front shade. February 13th, 2014Weather was either really cold or it was heavy snow for the past 7 days. Finally today is a slight warmer day with day time temperature of -2°C. Crew from AMX Steel is here continue their work on the structural steel. Last time they were here, some drawing/measurement mistake was discovered and they had to re-fabricate 6 beams with the correct measurement.
February 4th, 2014Not much happening today. Due to the measurement error that was discovered during the installation of beams yesterday, the crews from AMX Steel decided that they will just do a field measurement again, and haul the rest of the beams back to the shop and make sure all beams are of the correct size before trying to install again. February 3rd, 2014Finally after a long wait the structural steel is being installed. Richard Shouli and the crew from AMX Steel is here to install the steel columns and beams that provides the structural support for this house. Space is very tight at this site and the crane barely have enough space to work. In fact the crew brought a scissor lift but it wasn’t able to fit through the 7′ drive way.
