Shillman House Chronicles: Entry #10

  • The masonry staging is set up around the growing elevator shaft.  Its fire-rated block walls will go from the basement to the roof level.
  • Shillman's structural skeleton is in!  Steel supports over the basement area form the first floor deck.  Steel columns and beams connect to the concrete footings and walls to secure the structure that will support the floors above.  The sleeves, or holes, installed in the foundation wall to the left will have 5" pipes coming through them to connect the geothermal wells to the heating and cooling system for the building.
