Archive:Brew Hut Rebuild/Prefab Construction

Currently supervised by Roland (we are working in his back yard).

Construction is usually at Saturday from 10am - 4pm and Sunday from 12pm - 4pm.

General tasks to do:

• Build walls
• Build/ buy windows
• Painting
• Roof framer: Cut rafters and ridge board, etc. Gussets and/or collarties and/or hurricane ties. Additional wood for this?
• Furnature

Floors

• Floor platforms, joists are all cut to size.
• T&G Plywood cut, but it is low quality and has lots of little holes where knots have come out of it.
• Attic floor has now been painted with 3 coats of urethane paint.
• Main floor will be painted with urethane plus non-slip additive.
• Styrofoam insulation for underneath lower floor has been cut to size.

Walls and Windows

• Metal door has been bought and painted.
• 3 Windows by Roland: One window is ready to fly; two others nearly ready
• 4 windows by Scott and Ross Nelson: As of May 8th, all 4 frames are built and we are ready to order glass. 2 end wall windows will open on door hinges, and the 2 windows for above the cooking area will open outwards at the bottom (awning style).
• Shear strength of end walls is a concern.
• Wind load on the hut for high winds is unknown.
• Shutters for windows on main floor - upstairs as well?
