This is the Lodge Office Structure.
The Land


New as of 9-1-2002
The four post are in the ground. These holes were dug by hand. Eric, Tammy and myself dug for days, in the hard clay. The addition was easier to do now than later. I have increased the square footage by 560 square feet by doing the addition.
Braces were added to the deck as supports. Each one was custom cut with a chain saw.
This is were the support beam wraps around the the base of the post. These will be bolted to the posts. (Stay tuned).
Another bracing shot.
This is a small concrete form. This is the first step to the porch. As you can see the distance between the main structure and the concrete form will be the wrap around porch.
The additional floor space is best represented by an overall top shot.
