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.

Shillman House Chronicles: Entry #2

Excavators on the Shillman House site have been busy this past week lifting excess dirt onto trucks so that it can be moved off site.

Shillman House will have efficient and cost-effective heating and cooling systems, thanks to onsite geothermal wells. Two have been dug...eight more to go!
