Work is moving ahead steadily with the home we are building near Circle Lake.
The roof trusses have been worked on this week. The temeratures have dropped a bit, but the workers greatly appreciate the trees that provide a wind break.
On this home we are setting the roof trusses using our rough terrain forklift. The trusses are not so large that they are difficult to handle and the machine can move in close to the building.
This home also includes some interior vaulted ceilings. You can see the vaults in this photograph.

We have been working on a new park pavilion for the City of Dundas for the past few weeks. It is coming along well.
The building has dark gray colored concrete blocks for a base belting around the building. I like the look of having a darker colored block closer to the ground---it seems to give the building a solid 'anchor' to the world. The lower portions of a wall are also the areas that are most vulnerable to splashing and staining so a darker color makes sense here.
There will be lots of storage inside this building, with good overhead doors for access.
We have work to do to finish up the toilet rooms to complete the work and have it ready for park use this spring.

Work has moved along well on the new home we are building for a client in Dundas. Today we are working at setting the roof trusses on the home.
Truss setting work goes much easier and safer with the use of a rough terrain forklift or a small crane. For this project we elected not to use our rough terrain forklift due to the height of the home. Instead, Blesener Quality Exteriors, also in Dundas, helped us out with their truck mounted crane.
Everyone has appreciated the mild winter we have had so far….and we hope that it continues.
