We spend more time (overall 8 hours) with a local architect, Ed Hazzard. He helped us talk out the spacial relationships we wanted in the house.

The town informed us that on March 10 Bradford adopted the BOCA building code and we were required to submit plans. At the town's suggestion we went to a selectmans meeting to find out exactly what was required.

The points they were firm on were septic system approval by the state must accompany the plans, that the plans be "detailed", that the plans could not be "hand drawn" and that they conform to the BOCA Code.

With hind sight I should have done the septic design myself, this would have been legal and faster. It turned out Mr. Perron had boiler plate plans he liked to use so that although I asked for a trench system similar to preliminary plans I gave him, that is not what he designed. His first design did not even overlap the area in which I wanted the system, The Saga of Jude's House in Bradford, N.H. Part 1 - 1987 construction starts: The Plans fall of 1986 to June 29, 1987 During the preceding summer, 1986, we had purchased the fifty acre parcel of land and decided on the house site. We cleared some brush in the fall and checked site elevations. Over the winter we worked out a house design. We consulted via a letter and preliminary set of plans with Malcohm Wells who is an arbut did block an access road to the southern part of the property. We had him do a second plan which should work out well, but by the time the state and town approved the plans it was June 29. As a minor aside, the BOCA code implies that any non standard construction (such as the steel beams and roof loads carried by floor joist used in our design) requires certification by a structural engineer. I tried to get an engineer to stamp myain fuse panel, some windows for the barn, and many screens. The screens were used in the garden as sun shades, but there were so many that Jude also constructed a screen house in Bradford. This is a 4'x4'x8' enclosure which we slept in most of the building season. Once approved I had some trouble finding the steel beams we wanted at a good price. I was quickly convinced that having someone fabricate them doubled the price. Next it plans in advance in case the town got sticky about this. It turns out the town did not care, but I had a minor battle with an engineer, J. Jacobson, recommended by R. Perron. After weeks of waiting for him to review the plans he changed his mind and said there was no way he could certify them. I sent a tasteful letter pointing out he had changed his mind and recieved a missive in reply that Jude still won't let me read! If the house turned out that if the vendor would deliever to a house site on a dirt road, he had no way to unload the steel. Getting a crane in was moderately expensive so we asked a nearby farmer, Mr. Battles, who is a big hay distributor if he had or knew of anyone with a crane. We actually never meet Battles as he was under the dash of his truck when we arrived, during our conversation, and after we left. He didn't have a crane, but recommended works out I plan to frame his letter (which apparently says the design is a joke and can't work). A success during this period was contracting for and getting a well drilled. The driller, G. Lucas, estimated a least a month before he could do the work, but called two weeks later to say the well was in and 225' deep! Another interesting interlude was brought about by Jude's aquisition of nice building rocks from sister Carola steel supplier in Concord, Max Cohen, who delivered on a dump bed. It is ironic that Battles acted the part of a Yankee when we learned later that he came from Brockton (just south of Boston) about 30 years ago. Cohen worked fairly well, good price and delivery as advertised. For future reference they aren't real careful when they write up the order or grab the stock. On the order, one pipe and a major beam were left off (I caught ayn in Hampstead, N.H. Jude borrowed Carolyn & Bud's truck to transport the rocks and the truck engine died half way to our property. We eventally bought the truck and put a new engine in it. Carolyn and Bud were super about the problem and did not fault us. We ended up with a 3/4 ton truck for $500 and three weekends worth of work. Most of this time we were waiting for contractors so no house building time was lost. Jude used the trnd corrected the beam). When they wrote up the yard slip a 1/2" plate turned into a 1/4" plate. When they cut the pieces to lenghth, all the lengths were correct, but many of the weights were not (none were low, many were high). In general this worked out well, in one case we will have to shim some pieces that would have fit together nicely if they had shipped what I ordered. Next time if I don't want a substitution I'll say so in advauck the rest of the summer to get manure for the garden and rocks for the fireplace to be. We also spent several days scavanging building materials from a structure belonging to the people who own the office in which Will works. The owners were going to have the structure demolished and Will, Albert, and occasionally Jude took what they could. Got a lot of 14' 2"x6" and some 4"x6" beams as well as some florescent lights, a mnce. The foundatation June 29 - Aug 6 The next crisis was that although the concrete contractor said he was still available our excavator was too busy now. Jude called a number of people and got our cellar hole dug on July 14 by Jim Hanna. The concrete contractor, Jim Alexander, who was supposed to appear the same week to pour the footings didn't. A new suspenseful two week waiting period began as the cellar is in sand o have a professional framer, we committed ourselves to framing in the first floor deck so the foundation would be enclosed and protected from the winter weather. Capping the Cellar hole Aug 6 - Dec 28 The first step was to get ready for installing footing drains. It was important and a little risky doing this as the sand excavation kept falling down while we worked! Jude tarred the outside cellar walls after they dried fowhich was begining to cave in and Alexander was not good at returning our calls nor meeting us at the site when he said he would. In fact we were negociating with a new contractor to get the job done on 7/31 when Alexander called to say he would be there the next day to pour the footings. Alexander finished our walls August 6, contrary to the plans, he would not have put any reinforcing in the walls. Since Will was there to watch we got r a week, and put 2" foam insulation over the tar. With Jim Hanna's help the footing drains were put in place and the walls were partially backfilled on Aug 24 & 25. Jim also set the two 1st floor beams on the cellar walls with his backhoe. One very nice aspect during this period was that our neighbor's, the St. Pierre's, allowed us to run a long extension cord (220v) down from thier house for power. We are still using this as one piece of 1/2" in the long south wall, two in the east wall, and the correct amount in the column and fireplace footings. To add insult to injury, Alexander then charged 10% more than he originally quoted. My mistake with both R. Perron and J. Alexander was not having a written agreement which stated the scope, cost, and time frame of the work (although there were plans in Alexanders case). Our good contractor turns out to be the Public Service of N.H. is not in a big hurry to hook up new users. We installed a well pump and made a temporary connection to provide water. Willy rebuilt Robin's old cement mixer (camp to Long Island to Darien to Boylston to Bradford), got a yard sale motor, and was on line. It seems just like the old days in Darien to hear the mixer clanking away as part of the background noise (all we need is a pit pump). The next step was do excavator who is sensitive to (although possibly not in sympathy with) Jude's desire to save every living thing in the area. He has also been helpful in recommending material suppliers and building techniques. The Framer search I had been reluctant to talk seriously with framers until we had something to put the house on. In August we started looking for someone who could frame the house in the fall. We found many busy ping the basement floor pours. Willy wanted a reinforced concrete "bond beam" on top of the North cellar wall to stiffen that wall and hold the steel beams in place. This was done in two sections to coincide with the two floor pours that we did. Before any of this could be done we had to drill holes for blocking in the beams and get them in place. Will also had to work out the sewage plumbing and his "fungal farm" (heat storage in the eople and a wide range of prices $16,000 to $8,000. In the end it looked like the most likely candidate, Gary Demmone, wasn't reliable enough to risk as winter came on (he forgot about our scheduled meeting on 9/13 to draw up a contract). At that point our schedule would have been very tight as we needed to order roof trusses six weeks in advance, but had not yet finished the block work required for the first floor walls. With the decision not tbasement floor). Jude painted and drilled the beams using our drill press on a roller system we fabricated. Will and Jude laid out the fungal farm, poured the Southern support column for the floor beam, and moved the steel beams into place. The fireplace block work was started, the sewer lines under the floor were designed with the help of our Boylston neighbor Don MacKensie, and installed. Jude made forms for the bulkhead footing and the pulp and paper industry. 1978-83 Technical Manager, in charge of the Research and Development department.

R & D department consisted of four engineers spending half their time on research projects and 1st floor pour while Will made the North East bond beam form and put the reinforcing rod in place. Our first pour, 5.5 yds, was on Oct 9. Bud helped us in the morning while the truck was there and Jude and Will troweled until after dark. We found Jude could work with the 8" concrete block although she refuses to use a string, she was given the bulkhead block work while Will continued with the 12" block in the fireplace foundation.

Each work station is assigned a series of tasks where each task is associated with a known work time. In addition, there are precedence relations between the reqe can be variations in the work time at a station which can upset the balance of the line. A typical solution is to provide buffer storage areas (often the conveyor section itself) between stations to cushion the effects of the variable work times. However, this solution introduces added inventory and can slow down part delivery if the system becomes overloaded by the material in buffer storage. A simulation of the assembly process wiuired tasks as some must be completed before others can be started. The cycle time of the system is the maximum time a work piece spends at any one station as it traverses the assembly line. The goal of a line balancing algorithm is to assign tasks to the work stations available in a manner which satisfies the precedence relations and minimizes the cycle time (maximizes the production) for the assembly line. This line balanll be developed to study the system performance as the variations in work times at the stations increase. The material handling systems currently being developed for flexible manufacturing systems resemble networks rather than single continuous paths. The simulation model will be designed to accommodate an arbitrary number of conveyors, transfer junctions, and work stations. Considerable attention has been given to the optimality of tcing problem has been the topic of many dissertations and there are a plethora of solutions. As the number of work stations and tasks increase, the combinatorial complexity of the problem prohibits economic solution of all possible task allocations. Most solutions to the problem involve heuristics which limit the complexity but also introduce the possibility that the solution is not optimal. This thesis will implement at least three ohe task allocation produced by line balancing algorithms. However, it is anticipated that variation in work times will rapidly mask the differences in station allocation for the various algorithms. The magnitude and distribution of the work time variation will also influence the size of the buffers required to maximize production for a given station allocation. Both of these effects will be investigated with the system simulation. \f the known line balancing algorithms and compare the efficiency of the solutions to the computation time required. Two measures of the complexity of the line balancing problem, F-Ratio and West-Ratio, are reported in the literature. The F-Ratio is a comparative measure of the number of feasible assembly sequences for a precedence graph and the West-Ratio is the avarage number of tasks allocated to a work station.

The week before my start date Eric Walker called me at home to find out where I was. Apparently, AAG had expected me two weeks before personnel did. This amusing communication failure seems to typify my summer. Accomplishments: Learned the C programming language Became familiar with DCL command language and some of the John, I have owed you a letter since this summer, but one of my bad habits is procrastination. This communication was motivated by the fact that my Shrewsbury DEC badge (which I have been using at AAG while waiting for a contract) was confiscated by a guard last night. I am in the process of getting a "contract badge" now that AAG has a requisition for my work, but I don't want the confiscation to reflect on you. Probably yo utilities: FMS screen management system, and the CMS and MMS program development systems. Gained a reasonable view of what a flexible manufacturing system is/does. Wrote 4000 lines of uncommented code with frequent use of "GOTOs". As they are more commonly used in BASIC programming, this seemed a good way to write code others would understand. Positive aspects at DEC: There are many interesting development projecu will never hear about it but I wanted you to know I had continued to use the badge. I do have some favors to ask of you. The work I am doing for AAG has to do with multiple product scheduling for an FMS. I do most of my work at home though PISCES as it is a local call. Once a program is running, I mail it up to SARGON. I would like to retain my account on PISCES, is this ok? I am going to do my thesis on the effect of ts. The hours and style one works seem flexible (a critical aspect for me). Some of the managers give lip service to wanting employees to have "fun" (conceptually nice although not always realized). Negative aspects: From top to bottom there was a managment void in my job assignment. You, as well as others, have told me that "DEC likes to give freedom to employees and groups to encourage diverse ideas, some likeing code for a project of importance which others are supposed to complete later. If the project was fully defined initially this might have worked, but as it turned out when the summer help (Leung & Kranz) left there was very little continuity. Overview of group level: I hoped to learn good software design techniques as practiced in industry. What I did learn was that the lack of such techniques is frustrating.  it some don't". I feel what I have seen too much freedom. It seems many groups are working on similar projects without sharing information. This is supposed to be the positive DEC approach in that new ideas and alternate approaches are encouraged, but it seems there is too much wasted effort. In particular, there is neither a clearing house on which group is doing what piece of work, nor where to go for information or help on problion which also happens to be the one that will be most visible when the house is complete. We contacted Mr. Gardner who was willing to do the job, but suggested we get it enclosed first as this would protect the floor from the cold. The major tasks at this point were the block work. Jude did the entrance and bulkhead while Will continued with the fireplace foundation which was now high enough that the basement chimneys had to be encorems which must have been solved already. I felt a lack of support at what I will call the upper and group management level. At the upper level: I worked with a group which has not had a permanent location since its conception. This is getting to be a real problem. The area we are in is on loan, the other groups are passively hostile to our being in their space. A more serious problem is that group morale is suffering beporated. Jude also puts most of the sill boards in place. It takes until Nov. 14 to finish this up to the point where we are really ready to do carpentry. Note that some of this has not been a lot of fun. It is below freezing at night and we are using antifreeze in the concrete and mortar. Each night we drain the hoses so they don't freeze solid. Wool socks, full suit of long johns (2 for Jude) sweater and hat are the uniform...befocause no one knows where the will be working next week. I believe a feeling of stability is important for productive work. Deadlines have been imposed for product completion which can't be met without hardware, yet no one in upper management will authorize the hardware or change the deadline. Overview upper level: It is like any other company. Getting goals and manpower in line is a problem. Sales/engineering/development re getting up in the morning and getting dressed. The bed consists of two fragrant down bags zipped together, one heavy down bag unzipped over, topped by three wool blankets and one semi shepherd footwarmer. We have a nice picture of Jude setting block with 3" of snow in the background. We had been doing most of our cooking over a camp fire, but this just isn't comfortable anymore. My records show we started going out to eat dinner Sept seem to be out of phase. At the group level: I was effectively asked to start coding on my first day. I certainly didn't understand the design, and I doubt anyone had an overall view of it. I felt that: a) The design was not far enough along to start coding. A specification of record structures without algorithms for creating the record data is an insufficent design. b) Temporary summer help should not be responsible for design 17 and had sixteen restaurant meals by the end of the year. By the end of Dec we had moved up to the house and installed a wood stove. This facilitated doing our own cooking again. The last recorded meal in 1987 was Dec 11 and this was taking the St. Pierre's out to dinner as a return on their electric power supply. Rick comes up for the weekend of Nov 14 and Bud also helps on Sunday. We start the joists and plywood for the Easte backhoe. He backfills the walls (we were waiting until the floor decking was in place for support), sets our 500 gal. oil tank in place, and digs a trench from the well casing to the house. At this point all the permanent decking is in place, but there are two large openings in the floor where the stairs and concrete floor section in the first floor will be. We have obtained an old wood stove from Bud and Carolyn and connected it to thern end of the 1st floor. Start is a little hectic as Dennis Lumber our normal supplier does not have "span stamped" plywood as required by BOCA code. Get lumber for more money at local supply house, the Lumber Barn. We get 1/3 of joists in place and most of this covered with plywood. Jude and Will continue to work when the weather is decent, but it is getting chancey. Will cuts another batch of joists and Jude builds a temporary roof furnace chimney. We can at least dry gloves and get warm, but with the big openings in the deck there is no chance of warming the cellar. We hook up the lines to the oil tank and well. Then with some assistance from Jude, Will fills the trenches back in by hand (would have been an hours work for a backhoe, but hard to get anyone at this time of year). Jude makes plastic windows for south side of the basement. We build temporary rooover the bulkhead. Rick came up for two more days of decent weather Nov 23 and we get the South Western third of the basement decked over. We move from the screen house to the bulkhead on Nov. 24. It is so cold we can not sleep because the cold comes through the air mattress from the concrete floor (note this had not been a problem in screen house with the mattress on the ground). Next day we put a 2" foam insulation boarfing over the two holes in the decking and worry about how to protect the plywood until spring. Some of the sheets have started to buckle even though they are exterior grade and were covered with builders plastic. Six mil builders plastic flat on the plywood seems to give almost no protection as the water pools up and finds pin holes to leak through. Jude paints a water sealer on the deck on the few occasions it is dry. We d under the air mattress and it is bareable. Thanksgiving eve we sleep in bulkhead again and it rains hard all night. I get up in the middle of the night to pee and find the dog in a 1/2" pool of water on the floor (our bed is above dog's which is in the low spot Rick and I accidently created during the 2nd pour). Raise dog's bed out of water on blocks! Next morning we go to Bud and Carolyn's for Turkey. We finish up the joist work work hard over the weekend of Dec 13 to finish temporary protection for the plywood which consists of fiber reinforced plastic tarps draped over 2"x6" joist. As expected, Will's trip to L.A. has finally materialized and he goes West on the 15th. Jude had planned to finish the roof protection while Will is away, but it snows and stays cold until Dec 22 when Will returns. The next two days are spent shoveling out the truck and roof, purcaround the stair well (northern side of house) and put the plywood down. Jude works at least one day by herself while Will is warm as toast at Brattas earning money. We are fairly worried at this point about getting it enclosed before the snow flys. Especially as Brattas keeps threatening to send Will to L.A. for a week or more. Fortunatly this doesn't happen until Dec 15. On Dec. 6 Jim Hanna (finally) gets back for a day with his hasing hay to support a gradient in the tarps, and buttoning down the Southern portion of the roof. We go to Christmas celebrations in Connecticut and on the Cape returning to Boylston Dec. 27. On the 28th Jude takes Will to work and continues up to Bradford to finish covering the last of the roof. She manages this, but ends up with the flu and barely makes it back to Will's office in Nashua (puking all the way). As a general point shell up. As indicated above, this does not include travel expenses, groceries cooked over the camp fire, or booze (this last item may have been significant!). Neither does it include incidental gains such as Will's apparent weight loss and gain of muscle tone nor Jude's aquisition of 9? truck loads of manure for the garden and a huge pile of rocks for the fireplace. Approximately $400 of the material (lumber and tarps) waof interest we appear to have spent more nights in Bradford during Nov and Dec than we did in Boylston!

For instance this is the second year Will imagined he would finish up the garage in the fall and there wasn't mber costs for the house (roof and siding included, but not insulation or interior). Total for lumber was $11,500, by this estimate we should have spent $2000 to get where we are now. This isn't so bad, but I also estimated the windows at $5,500 and Jude's more refined list looks like $11,000. Part of the window increase (33% per sq. ft. of glass) is going from Anderson to Marvin and adding E glass, but we have added a lot more (44%) g Dec 31, 1987 Dear Nancy and Peter, Our house pictures have been returned to us. We have numbered them in (nominally) chronological order. The numbers are on the back of each photo. We gave you individual prints so you can mix and match to suit on your bulletin board. These notes describe the interesting features of the individual shots. Also included for your records is a brief summary of oulass since the first estimate. The first and second floors have 500 sq. ft. of glass, about 2/3 of this faces south. I estimate another $6,000 to get a leach field (@ $3,000) finish the floor slabs ( basement, 1st floor, and entrance hall @ $2,000) and get the electricity run underground from the road to the house. If we can get the framing done at the $8000 figure, we can expect to spend a total of $40-45,000 more next year to get the r first year of house building and the design calculation sheet we submitted to the building inspector. Note that photo 20 is not included as we sent it back to be reworked, it should follow in a few weeks. 1 & 2 - the screen house we lived in most of the summer with and without its (noisy) plastic rain fly. Note our dog is in the manure truck with Jude and the neighbor's dog (the condo shepherd) is on the ground. #1 is taken from thnted here was the installation of the sewer drains beneath floor. (Also not documented was removal of salamanders and frogs, sometimes as many as 7 or 8 per day, which somehow kept wandering in during the night despite jude's barricades.) 12 - look carefully at Ms. Eldridge. She is drilling holes in the beams with the drill press which is on rollers for traversing the beam. In the forground is our first poured column which will e path half way between the house and garden while #2 is looking in the opposite direction (west) from the other side of the garden site.

(Chairs courtesy of Van Loan) 3 - is looking south over where the house will be (see also 5 & 19 for contrast). Note the director's chair where the kitchen will support a 1st and eventaully 2nd floor beam. The three columns of blocks between the poured column and the main wall are temporary supports on which the beam was rolled into place. Notice the leaves start to turn, its fall now. 13 - Ms. Eldridge trowelling the 2nd floor pour. You are looking north directly at the bulk head opening in the north wall.

Shot 9 also shows the "bulkhead" we talk about in the north wall of the basement, igh reinforced concrete "bond beam" above the contractors 8' high wall. This beam contains a LOT of steel as the contractors wall doesn't contain any. It holds the floor beams in place and bridges the bulkhead opening to support the 1st and 2nd floor walls. 14 - Jude and her rock pile.

Jude asserts that this comment is based on visual judgement, not performance.) 10 - looking north again as "smiling" Jim Hanna, our excavator, sets the second of our two 1st floor beams on the foundation. The machine was on site to dig and fi in place. Fireplace support is nearly complete. It contains two flues (furnace and future basement wood stove) and will also support the beam over master mason's head. You are looking south. In the forground is another section of the "bond beam" mentioned in 13 with the form work still in place. 17 - looking north east. The main point is that we are into LATE fall weather. Apprentice mason is shown beside here front entll the footing drains. Activity not shown previously included Jude's tarring the walls and putting 2" foam panels up as insulation on top of this tar. 11 - looking west, shows "fungal farm" which is Will's hot air distribution system in the floor. Also shown (without head) is Ms. Eldridge who is painting the floor beams which are in turn supported by tree trunks. The beams are lying on their sides. Another job which is not well documerance foundation block work. In background is the western end of the "bond beam" and the top of the bulk head block work (also by the apprentice mason) just in front of Doug's old Saab which is serving as the tool locker in this picture. (Jude wonders if the terms "master" and "apprentice" are accurate. So-called apprentice mason has laid (and relaid) many more blocks, although lighter ones, than the master.) 18 - Erich Kranz and Ms. E E glass where available unheated basement ceiling insulated to min R11 3.5" fiberglass This building will meet or exceed guidlelines set forth in N.H Energy Code.

The load from the joists in the bedroom to the east of the ceiling beam is (30 + 10 + 10) x 7.5 = 375 lb/ft. The design is compilcated by the second roof over the studio which has a north/south ridge. It is constructed with sysmsteel W10 x 30 155 The roof has two ridges which meet to form an "L" shape. The longer ridge runs east/west with the central section consisting of asymetric truss with 246" (20' 6") spans. The loads from these trusses are carried down to steel roof beams at each end of the span. These roof beams run parallel to the ridge with unsupported spans of 180" (15'). Each of these beams carries half the central roof andetric roof trusses with 240" (20') spans. Thus half this roof and ceiling load carries down to the western exterior wall, but the other half (600 lb/ft) carries down through the studio wall onto the joists in the center section of the second floor. These second floor joists are on 9" centers (see below) to distribute the roof load between the first floor load bearing wall in the bedroom and the W10 x 21 ceiling beam discussed above. As ceiling load of 615 lb/ft plus half the load of additional shed roof extensions. The other half of the shed roof loads are carried by the exterior walls. The uniform load carried per linear foot of beam is slightly higher on the north side as this shed roof section has a 86" (7' 2") span and a ceiling load as opposed to the 57" (4' 9") span on the south side which has no ceiling load. However the north-side beam is a continuous 38' len this roof load meets the joists 5' from the load bearing wall and 10' from the ceiling beam, 2/3 of the roof load is carried to the wall with the remainder going to the ceiling beam. The second floor joists on the western side of the W10 x 21 ceiling beam carry a combined floor and ceiling load of 60 lb/sq ft which contributes an additional 450 lb/ft uniform load on the beam. Thus the uniform loading, position and amount of point logth supported at the end points and on two central columns which makes it stiffer than the south-side roof beams which are two simply supported 15' lengths. A W10 x 21 beam runs north/south across the ceiling of the open first floor living space and carries the point loads from the roof support beams as well as the uniform load of the floor joist. North-side roof beam: 830 lb/ft, point load of 12450 lbs South-side roof beam: 713ad from the roof beams differ slightly for the north and south segments of the ceiling beam as indicated below. The deflection calculation treats each half of the beam as simply supported on the exterior wall and rigidly supported by the fireplace column due to bending moments from the other half of the beam. A span of 16' 3" is used for the worst case (completion of the fireplace masonry will reduce this span. a portion of the first floor. The slab is used as a thermal mass to store heat from the south-facing windows. This slab is intended to have a 9' dimension in the northerly direction but will be assumed to extend to the center line of the house in the calculations below (this simpifies the calculation and would allow expanding the slab at a latter date).

Assuming a cement density of 144 lb per cubic foot, the dead load from this slab will be 72 lb/sq ft with a live load of 40 lb/sq ft. The eastern girder supports half the slab load, 840 lb/ft and half of the floor load from the eastern third of the house, 375 lb/ft.

Deflection for a W10 x 21 beam: 0.36" (span/360 = 0.47) The westerly girder supports the following loads over an 132" (11') span which begins at the southern wall: Uniform loads: half cement slab load 840 lb/ft 1/2 first floor bedroom 375 lb/ft 1/3 of studio roof load 200 lb/ft 15' tributary 2nd floor lo this works out to Fb = 6 x Mb/(b x h x h) = 1327 psi.

The girder on the eastern side of the basement just supports the first floor loads as the second story load is carried to the fireplace and exterior walls by the first floor ceiling beam. In addition to the first floor uniform load, there is a cement slab which serves as 28" The simply supported 13' center span for this beam has as a worst case the same uniform load and no point load: Deflection = 0.33" (span/360 = 0.43) The cement slab is to be a steel reinforced slab and beam.

Peter had requested a phone call, and Ross sent a post card which never arrived. Peter had been in touch with the Vineyard y load. The end beams have 0.4 sq. in. of steel and a width of 4" as they only support half the load of the central beams. Design criteria are for a combined live and dead load of 268 lb/ft on the central beam sections spanning 180" (15'). The steel ratio is p = 0.01 producing a "balanced beam" with 2500 psi concrete. Fiber stress in the steel is 1.3E4 psi, less than half the 30,000 psi limit. Unit shear is 25 psi, less than half thbased partner, Benjamin, who was tring to get a motor part for Ross. Last word (around Feb. 1) was Ross had given up waiting and set sail from Bermuda. Benjamin would ship the part to Peter for hand delivery. As the deadline approached with no word, Will and Jude changed their reservations to depart from Boston on Beth's flight to avoid the drive to Connecticut if all fell through. The criteria which would require shear reinforcement. Using the steel area and moment arm, the beam has a moment of inertia of 57 cubic inches. Deflection for cement beams = 0.18 (span/360 = 0.5) A W10 x 15 steel beam will also be used in the garage so that a column is not required in the center of the space. In the proposed barn design, this beam carries the load from a 9.5' x 11' area of the roof as a point load of 5225 lb at the ce part never arrived in Connecticut, and with no word from Gannon or Benjamin on Feb 5, we were all concerned. Tom was waiting with Nancy and Peter, Will and Jude poised on the Cape to leave Jetsam with Jude's family, and Beth was waiting by her phone in New Hampshire. Peter tried Benjamin by phone again and got the woman in his life who reported Ross and the Zorra had been at St. Bart'enter of an 18' span. A simply supported calculation shows deflection = 0.54" (span/360 = 0.60) and this is conservative because this beam spans the entire 38' of the existing foundation and will act as if it is rigidly supported on the central column. roposed barn design, this beam carries the load from a 9.5' x 11' area of the roof as a point load of 5225 lb at the cs for several days, but Benjamin was away until 9pm. On the strength of this Willy and Jude left Jetsam on the Cape and started home, while Beth confirmed with American Airlines to see if she could keep her reservation until 9pm without a cancelation penalty (she could, her travel agent just misled her). Peter talked to Benjamin and confirmed Ross was in the St. Maartin area and expect if sfat = 0 then writeln('eof') else if sfat < 0 then writeln('error in previous value for dispaloc') until sfat < 2; end; procedure dispfname(dir:dir_ent); var i:integer; l:real; begin for i:= 0 to 7 do write(char(dir.fname[i])); if (tstbit(dir.attrib[0],4)) then write(' ') else begin write('.'); for i:= 0 to 2 do write(char(dir.ext[i])); l := 256.0*(256.0*hi(dir.szhi) + lo(dir.szhi)); l := 25ing us. Will and Jude called in from a Restaurant and agreed it was a go situation. Tom emphasized that we all had the same information and it was a group decision to board our respective planes. Jude confirmed with Beth learning she still had her tickets and would meet us in Boston. The Connecticut contingent drove to Kennedy leaving the BUICK in long term parking and they slept in a on their first attempts. Bill and Antonio managed it, but with considerably more fumbling around. Ross gave very helpful instruction from the Zodiac. After lunch we sailed to Marigot to get food and water. It was a calm slow sail taking about 4 hours. We found there was a problem with water, someone had recently torn out their boat at the dock while taking on water and sued. The wahotel to avoid an early morning rush to the airport. \e Jan 28, 4:00 pm - It was anti climatic, but very pleasant to deplane and find Ross waiting just outside the Customs fence (visible as we entered the Customs line). Jude rode back to the boat in Ross's Zodiac while Tom got the rest of us a Taxi to Simpson Bay where the Zorra was at anchor. We discovered the first instance of the uter sellers were not letting boats approach the dock unless it was calm. Went to the food store and purhase several hundred dollars worth of goods, including three cases of beer and a bottle of rum for the crew. \e Jan 30 - The plan was to see if we could get water and for Ross to take a quick trip to Island Water World. Tom and Will went ashore, got gas and Kerosene, and waited for Rniversal $10 charge for service when paying for the taxi ride. Tom started to query the driver on the fee. The driver mentioned such things as extra people and baggage, but agreed with Peter when he added the price as also based on " what the market will bear". We had a beer at an open air cafe on the beach and waited to be picked up. We saw Jude & Ross zoom across the oss to return from his one hour trip. During the wait the fort on the hill above town was explored (nice view). After sitting expectantly for three hours Tom and Will hitched a ride at the dingy pier back to ship and had lunch. Ross did return, reporting he had been on a wild goose chase looking for his motor part. The swell was too high to allow us to take on water so we set sail for Bay to the vessel we assumed to be Zorra and then a young man who turned out to be Antonio appeared at our table ready to row us to the boat in Ross's hand made wooden dingy. We spend the rest of the day on the boat sipping Beaujolais and eating dinner. [One might interject here that the Zorra is a 72 foot or so yawl which Ross and Nat bought at auction firedamaged. WoodenRoad Bay on Anguilla to clear British customs. The wind was fairly strong, we had a fast sail taking approximately 4 hours and arrived at dusk. Tom thought this sail was stimulating, Peter felt it was overly so. Jan 31 - It was windy and rainy all morning. Ross clears us for walks in town and going to the reefs the next day. Will got custody of the Zodiac by taking Andew and Antonio , of course. Decor was a little rough in places but not noticable to Kranzes and not minded by Eldridges. The engine had not been functioning since a few days south of Bermuda, therefore rationing of electricity, handhauling of anchor, low on water.] ] Jan 29 - In the morning (or was it yesterday afternoon ?) we tried out Maggie's wind surfer. Tom and Andrew did very wellto the wrecked freighter in the middle of the harbor. Then takes Jude and Beth to the nearby cliffs to explore, but can not leave the dingy as there is no anchor and shore is rough. In the afternoon the sun comes out and we explore the town (or what there is of a town). Tom, Will, Jude, and Nancy climb to the crest of the ridge. Nancy spots a fossilized shell which Jude keeps for her cflapping to make port. Ross is careful to stay well off shore as the lack of a motor and no wind gives him very little control. Feb 2 - Morning is spend getting food and water. Tom has a disappointing search for scubba tanks. Without a motor it is a big production to winch into the dock and get water, but we manage. Ross talks a friend from the Vineyard into helping with their Zodiacollection. Nancy and Tom get more chicken. Tom and Will do more sail boarding in light wind that evening. Both improving, Tom can almost tack without falling down. Beth tries, her first time on sail board, and does very well. The supplies situation is discussed, we are short on alcohol and ice. Bernie is concered we will run out of rum and the scupper snakes will get us. Feb 1 - In . They are french and it is interesting to watch the interaction (we use their boat as a safety device for over an hour). After lunch we set sail for goat island (Isle des Fourches) which Jude and Will like. Go around North side of St. Maartin, wind fairly strong but can not quite reach to Island so must take a long tack. When get close to harbor there are three boats there already somorning it is clear and calm. Andrew goes in for ice and beer (we have gone through 2.5 cases). Beer is too expensive, but we get ice. Sail out to reefs, moderate wind 2 hour sail. Ross sails us through the cut into the reef, Will finds this a little scary with no motor. Very pretty area with white beaches and shelter. Everyone snorkels inside reef most of day. Peter is not comfort we override Jude's desire to sleep there and sail on to St. Bart's which should have a nicer anchorage. We arrive a dusk after around 6 hours at sail. After dinner the crew goes ashore to drink, Peter, Nancy, Tom, Will, and Jude go in for a short walk around town. Peter thinks restaurants are expensive and probably not that good. We all agree it is a clean nice town (just as Ross advable with the snorkel but uses the mask to watch fish near Zorra. Inside the reef coral is mostly dead, but there are many colorful fish. Ross takes Tom, Will, Jude, and Antonio to outer side of reef in afternoon. It is very impressive with bigger fish, live coral canyons, and swells pushing us around. Tom says it is the best he has seen, would have loved to spend more time there especised when he said we should see it). Peter and Tom spot our crew in the tavern, Maggie has found an old friend. Peter donates a round of drinks and we motor out to our beds. Feb 3 - force Ross and crew to get up and set sail before breakfast. Antonio is suffering the affects of demon rum punch. Have a 1 hour slow downwind (without main) sail back to goat island while eaially with a scubba tank. Ross feels it is too late to go in and get Nancy to see this so we stay until a rain squall is seen and Ross makes Tom quit. The wind has turned so we set sail and Ross decides he can go back through the cut. We start sailing back to Marigot around 5 pm as we need water and beer. The wind dies within an hour and it takes a total of 8 hours with the main sail ting croissant and fruit. Explore island in moring, each sub-group going to their own peak. All tourists except Peter snorkel in afernoon. No where near as good as the Anguilla outer reef (nor as Jude and Will remember it being) but pleasant with pretty fish and one small barracuda. Spend the night in harbor, which seems fairly rolly polly (glad prior evening at St. Bart's). Might have rough to see as sand stirred up. Only Jude is brave enough to go in and look, sees nothing of interest. After lunch sail out of harbor to south on a reach to show the Hadalas what sailing is all about and get to Simpson bay. At sail for 2 hours in moderate wind. On the way back see an island freight sail boat which has a car on deck cross wise. The car spans the entire deck. Amazing been better if there had been an engine and we could have gone further in out of swell. Feb 4 - sail to Philipsburg on the south side of St. Maartin after breakfast. Again downwind without the main, sailing for about 3 hours at a leisurely speed. The biggest excitement is we run aground on a sand bar going into the harbor. Ross is very calm, Zorra comes free before they get the boa what they move in these little boats. Do a little more sail boarding in Simpson bay, Tom Hadala makes an attempt. Feb 6 - The last day. Jude sites a turtle ! At first she just thinks she may have seen a head, but remains vigilent and gets good solid view of one. The wind is fairly strong and we try the sailboard again. Tom Kranz is the only one who really gets up on t ready to try to pull her off. Comming up to our final mooring the fordeck crew sees a turtle but Jude misses sighting. Tom rents a car and goes to look for his friends Tom and Karen Hadala who were flying in for a visit. He takes Ross to Island Water World finding his friends and the motor part. They return giving the car to Nancy and Peter who take Beth to her flight and then explorit. It drifts downwind and we have to tow it back. We do a quick snorkel to the small reef at the harbor edge but it is not spectacular and we go back to the boat as a rain squall comes through. The Hadalas catch a 1:00 pm flight back to St. Croie. Will rows Jude out for a last look at the reef, stays in wooden boat while Jude dives. She likes it there, calm, shallow and many pretty small e the Island with Jude a little. Will stays on board like a lump to read and assist with engine part. Ross and Andrew get engine to run before dinner. In the evening the two Tom's, Jude, Ross, Antonio, and Bernie go the casinos. Ross is asked [twice] to leave the first after spending his quarters in their slot machine as he has no shoes. The two Toms win at both places they visit and a fish. Sees an octopus who is afraid of her and clutches conch shells fiercely. Nice last sighting. Ross takes Jude and Will to their flight by Zodiac. Maggie gives us a tastful moon as we leave. We just make our flight as we left a little late Ross has to stop for gas on the way in. Antonio rows Nancy, Peter, and Tom to shore where they hail a taxi and have a more comfortable dell return to the ship. Feb 5 - In morning Tom and Hadalas explore island in car before returning it. Jude sorkels around Zorra a little, finds a fish trap with small fish and a lobster but can not free them. Will and Jude take Ross to visit a friend in Zodiac. While Ross is on shore explore east coast of bay. Find open sewer at first likely snorkel spot. Go to cliffs, but it is too parture. post script. jude and will assist an elderly and overloaded gentleman with his baggage in New York.

We adjourn to Boylston for showers, and Will finishes mounting Peters old Crane on our new Sundown farms truck. The plan is to use the crane to raise wall sections as well as help when the steel beams are erected. Rick came up to help May 31-June 4. Bob Shannahan is also in attendance for most of this period. We round the corners on both sides of the East wall ie 15' sections of the North and in the bathroom! Our contractor, Jim Hanna suggested we dig the trench for the buried service entrance at the same time. I coordinated with the electric company, and in mid March Jim (with Will as a helper) installed the septic and ran the underground conduit for the phone and electric service. Will set up a temporary service post at the house site and by early April we had power and a phone jack at the site. Before a framer could gSouth walls which gives us something to stabilize and support the main beam spanning the living room. Rick has a little trouble with his 1st wall on the North side. First he doesn't know Judes convention for the window size, so he makes the opening width = window height and the opening height = window width. Jude catches this and Rick patches the framework up. We raise the wall section with the crane on the truck. Works nicely. Rick et started we had to do some masonry work to support the wood frame construction. Will did the block work to raise the North wall to support the future backfilled berm and Jude did the bricks on the West side of the house. Jude was a bit stressed by this work as Will as fussy about having the wall straight and parallel with the wood floor sections. Although the final job is excellent Will still doesn't know how it was done; Jude doesn'and I are pleased. Bob and Jude are concerned as neither Rick nor I notice the bottom of the window is above our heads. Rick forgot the wall starts at a height of 3' due to the block work for the north side berm. Its an easy mistake to make as the wood part of the wall is 12' high to ballon frame up the the north side roof, hence the way Rick framed it looked right on the ground. Rick reworks the framing again. William ponders the eft like levels or measurements and refuses to use a string when doing block or brick work! { Judiths comment: it looked right!} As we still didn't have a framer at what seemed a reasonable price (under $15,000), Will decided to do a test section of wall to determine if it was feasable for the house to be constructed by Will and Jude alone. Will made and errected the 1st floor NW corner of the kitchen in three days (a 15' long 10' highfect for a week or so, then takes the window apart again and reframes it so it doesn't look quite so odd. We are all a little nervous about the main beam at this point. It turns out the crane on the truck can't reach far enough to help. At this point Jude sees something she thinks is a crane drive by going up Deer Valley road. She races off to see if she can get them to stop by on the way back, but it turns out to be a log section containing one window). Based on this and our experience last year with the 1st floor deck, Will estimated we could frame the entire shell in three months (by the end of August). Overruling Jude's anxiety, we decided to do our own framing. The first load of lumber was delievered by a flat bed dump truck on May 20 and we started! Will continued with the 1st floor East side while Jude worked on the brick work that thtruck for Bibbo which doesn't seem like it would work. Mostly through Bob's efforts, temporary additional frame work is added to both the new north and south wall sections to support chain falls and lift the beam. The four of us slide the 700 lb beam on rollers (very carefully and slowly) over Judes brick work, across the 1st floor and into position. Will installs the steel support columns, then the next day he and Rick raise the beam. id this slab is close to 5" deep, either it settled or I didn't bring enough sand in to start with so we paid for an extra inch of concrete. They used a power trowel which did look nice. Jumping ahead for a minute, this floor looked real nice for a long time. We kept it wet and covered for over a week to protect it. However by the end of the summer it began to get stress cracks. Its our worst floor now! Will now goes to work on the After all the preparation, it is a piece of cake. Rick and Bob build the rest of the North wall, this is a 12' high, 20' long section that sits on the elevated block work so the top is around 16' above the ground. Again we use the truck to raise this section. It seems to be going fine, the wall is 2/3 of the way up when the cable jumps off the pulley at the top of the crane. We are extremely lucky. The crane was positioned at an a forms for his 1st floor slab. Jude "slowly" finishs 2nd floor plywood. Jude works on remaining sill plates over her brick. Bob goes off to do some landscaping. Between June 12 and 15 it gets progressively hotter reaching 101 in Concord on the 15th. This is NOT good weather to work in. We retire to the basement during the middle of the day and try to get up early so we can work before it gets too hot. We try the tent on the second fngle to the wall as it was the only way to get the truck near the wall. This forces the cable to jump, but it catches on the "T" handle of the pulley axle which happens to be at the correct orientation. We make a save with come-alongs attached to the crane and get the wall up ok. We primarily work upwards now. Will wants the 2nd floor deck in place to stiffen things up and we need to leave the West side open to allow pouring the lastloor, but its too hot. Jude sets up the screen house there and we have a few decent nights, but for some reason the bugs are getting in much more than they did when we had it in the field. { We don't remember any "noseeums" around last year, could be the drier weather?} June 22 - Bob, Jude, and Will pour Will's slab and the concrete section over the bulkhead. This goes fairly smoothly. Jude hand trowels the slab. The driver says mos basement floor section and Will's slab. Bob does the 2*4 stud portion of the West 1st floor bathroom wall with elegant wind bracing. Bob & Will do the walls by the stairwell and work on the Eastern section of 2nd floor joist. Once the joist are in Jude and Bob put down the flooring plywood. On June 10th Donald Gardner and his son pour the last section of the basement floor and the entrance slab for us. They shoot through the hole wt contracters pour at a slump of 6. I try 4.5, but its too stiff. A slump of 5 seems to work pretty well. Have some trouble getting concrete to flow through my wire mesh. Driver says I should have ordered with smaller (1/2") stone. Should have had some kind of vibrator also, hitting forms with a hammer was pretty good, but makes you very tired. Got a front loader this time, and it was amazing what it could do over the bulkhead wherehere Will's slab will go. They make it look very easy, of course they also pour pretty wet, a slump of around 6 they say, "but don't worry, it doesn't hurt the cement". They have some very nice water proofing they use below the slab, much better than poly. They chaulked the walls and set two pins in the center of the floor with the transit for level the day ahead, and then just screed by hand with a 12' long aluminum screed! Donald sa the driver could use it to advantage, I hardly had to do anything. Did a total of 4.5 yards. We now go to work around the West end of the house. This is double wall construction so the load can carry down through 2*4 interior studs to the foundation and have an exterior 2*6 facade to house more insulation but not carry load on the brick work. Carry wall on around the front (south) and get living room partition and its wood beam exte on the 2nd floor with the cheap yellow plastic rope, the hand winch, and another of Bob's jury rigged cranes so I can finish the exterior walls. Then we put the trusses in place for the studio roof. The next day Will and the truck crane get the 2nd floor roof beam on the deck. It is a little tense as the truck dies mysteriously when beam is only partly up onto deck. Have to drag it with the come along. Fiddle with truck for a couple hours nsion over to the bathroom and North side of the house in place. Now put floor joist and plywood decking on as much of the West side of the 2nd floor as possible to hold this together and provide a work area for erecting the 2nd floor steel cross beams. By July 27th the 2nd floor is done thanks to Jude's plywood laying ability. She has also been getting ready for the Sunapee arts fair which she works at a couple times during the 1st weand it fixes itself. Aug. 22 Rick comes up for a day and a half, builds eaves on South end of studio. Rick had planned to stay longer, but the weather turned bad. He had picked up his rototiller on the way up and in spite of the bad weather, turned Jude's overgrown winter rye down before leaving. Aug 23 Will's entire family appears. They stay at the Candlelight Inn. Peter and Nancy go to New London to visit Peter's old school ek in August. Somewhere in here Will also started the entrance. Framed its West side, and it took a week to notice that there was no window opening! Will builds the stairs so we can get up and down. Jude starts dipping and putting shingles on the North wall. We put the windows in this wall somewhere along here. Actually planned ahead and pre-ordered sub sets of the windows so we could put some in when the 1st floor was done. Will, friend. Tom does attic floor bracing over studio. The next day the family helps me get the Northern half of the East gable end (bedroom wall) up. The truck is a big help on this one as can run winch from the wall through a snatch block on a tree to the crane. The family leaves and Will continues working on the remaining gable end sections. Bob and Beth both do some work on 2nd floor South facing wall for the bedroom and bath. Will gets itwith a couple days help from Bob gets the 2nd floor walls of Jude's studio up. The South wall of the studio is a bitch as it is 20' wide and ballon framed to the gable peak. The North was is only a half wall (10' wide), but as Will tries to raise it, it kicks out falling and breaking one of studs. No one hurt, but a day wasted. Periodically we have been getting electic shocks from the garden hose. Jude gets a good one washing her hai up by himself, but in the process the little yellow rope on the hand winch finally breaks. Will has been suspicious (at Jude's insistence) because it is another large, 20', section. No damage is done. Aug. 30 Rick and Marty Crandell (hired help, will fill in personal detail below) arrive and put the sheathing on the studio. Will finishes the last gable on West side over entrance way and we put it up. Then raise and instar from the hose, so we start turning the wel pump off when using the hose. Then Jude gets on using the Skill saw and Will decides it is time to find the problem. After several consultations with Dad, and a lot of volt meter work, it is determined that one of the lines to the pump is shorted to ground. Turns out the well cap pinched the wire which is easy to fix. On Aug. 17th Bob and Randy Manard help all day. Get all trusses ll roof beam with chain falls. Before Rick leaves on Sept 2 we get the remaining trusses in place. Martin stays a few more days and works on the eaves and ladder framing around chimney. Will finishes this up and does the stick framing so plywood can go on. Sept. 11 & 14 Bob and Randy finish the majority of the roof sheathing (Will doesn't like being up there, but cuts plywood and passes it up). Will does left over sections and with Juwindow in place. The four of us had two meals with Barbara Lawthers, the first in New London was not a success (reasons are not clear), but the second at her house was quite pleasant. At this point we are ready for Will's window. The dealer, RPJ, calls to say it is in and we hire Bob to be there to unload it. We have a nice morning talking with Bob as it is raining and we can't work outside. The truck finally comes and the big windodes help gets some roofing felt on most of the roof. This is wonderful as it is the first time we have been anywhere near dry when it rained. Sept 19 Martin comes back and works (with the weekend off so he can work for Tony) until the 29th. He does all shingling on the main roof, does most of the rafter framing for the 2nd floor South facing shed roof, and under duress hangs our 1st floor east door. We learn a lot from watching himw isn't on it, it was backordered. We get the small transom unit which we can't use yet. After a bit of frustration and bitching we finally get the window (RPJ sends an extra man to help unload) on Nov. 22. Jude and Will get the bottom unit in place, then with a little help from Clayton and Russell(neighbors) we lift the top unit into place on Nov. 26. Will also finishes the eve/shed line extension along the south side of t work and talking to him about how a professional builds houses. As Martin leaves, Rick comes back for two days. He finishes the shed roof rafters, and puts the sheathing on. It is now early October and conceptually we are done. Just some odds and ends to take care of. Will says "we'll be out of here in a month". Well those odds and ends go on and on until just before Christmas. During most of this period Jude is shingling or helphe house and shingles the shed. He installs the wood stove and main service entrance. Much time is spent in Oct. and Nov. on trim. Will has seriously underestimated how long trim and soffets will take (several soffets are still not done). As it gets colder, we have trouble getting the 50 degree temperature recommeded for painting the trim. Also the length of the day decreases, Its not warm enough to do much till 10, and light fades aing Will install windows. Oct. 13 provides a break as Captian Bob and Mate Joan visite for two days. This is extreme duty for Joan as she doesn't like the cold and we make here climb the mountain. Bob does some shingling on the West side of the house. Its interesting, he has a different (faster) style but we decide it should all look the same and slow him down some. Will has just gotten the basement windows in when they arrive. He qt 4:30. Will finishes the entrance way walls and does the roof framing and shingling. By the time the front door is on (mid Dec.), it is snowing out. personalities: Let us not forget that William -all in all- had a jolly time this year. Oft times and at length he could be seen standing about with booze in hand gazing at his construction. At noon break J. sits with back to house watching the woods, W. watches the house. J. uickly puts up a temporary door and tarps to enclose the top of the basement stairs to help keep the guests warm (they didn't think it helped much!). Another interlude, Peter came up for 3 days with Colleen. They arrived late election day (Nov. 7th) took us to dinner, and startled the Candlelight Inkeeper. Primarily they shingled on the South side of the house, build scafolding, and helped put Jude's big south facing studio enjoys living outside but does not enjoy the house building. Dreads each morning, arising to be spoken sternly at for her ineptness and confusion (and resulting lack of speed). retiring in the evening with no sense of accomplishment. Working with William for her was like trying to master thinking in a foreign language about a subject with which you are unfamiliar..before long she couldn't even figure out how she would normally go about solving a felt we had only scratched the surface. Rick... Will's cousin who was a tremendous help. Was retired at the time and helped us for the fun of it! Even brought his own wine. There were two area's of conflict. This politics are a bit conservative, and we had to listen to his opinions at meal times, and his attention to detail. The latter is of interest as Rick used to claim if he was within 1/2" he was close enough. Will problem. Ah well. Separate tasks were the solution. Fitting plywood was something she could do and the shingling and trim work became her jobs. Will... accepts the above. Really had a good time for the first two months except during the rainy wet days. By August it was a little old hat but still mainly fun. By the end of September it wasn't fun anymore. There are several aspects to this. There as begining to be time works to 1/8" and it turns out Martin tries for 1/16". The were several instances (Ricks Kitchen window above) where Rick forces boards into position or used warpped members of the resulting structure was not plumb or striaght. Ricks theory was it didn't matter as it was to be convered up. Will's therory was it would make things harder latter, an more important he would KNOW it was that way even if it were covered. I should have known, pressure as it was important to be enclosed by winter, the major errections were in place so the work done seemed much less tangible, and the temperature was dropping. Bob...How shall we describe him? Early forties in age, musician, aging hippie type. could work "on call". His major feature was that he was affable. He took to wearing a button on his hat which read "I'm only visiting this planet". Even less fussy about measurement than I helped him on a tree house 20 years ago, and he had started with the floor skewed. I made him build the walls plumb which made for a strange interior. Randy... a roommate of sister Beth's, through whom Bob was introduced to us also. An opthamologist by training, he likes to work with his hands in his spare time. Typically he worked Wednesdays and Saturdays on a profession Timber framming crew. Also affable, helpful on theJ. William was ever alert for his various imaginative shortcuts and occasional slob tactics. W. was especially apt to be annoyed with Bob later on after watching professional Marty's style. But we like bob- he got us through some tough spots and didn't mind heights. Martin... Cousin Rick brought him up from the Cape where he had been working for the hotel. A painfully shy Minnesotan. Loosening him up was a major undertaking. Fo roof yet there seemed to be strange gaps in his carpentry knowledge (or else he had the wrong opinions!)... Barbara Lawthers... our neighbor up the street. She deserves a place here because of her great kindness to us during this project. She fed us once or twice a week, sending us home with food, gave us hot showers, and kept us sane by giving us someone other than ourselves to talk to. Living conditions...Miscelaneous nr several days he would barely eat. (He brought a supply of crackers, hotdogs, and chewing gum) Finally he would eat our food if it was placed directly in front of him so that he didn't have to reach conspicuously. After three weeks he mildly mentioned that there were eggshells in his breakfast. A real break through. We got him to talk about his life and marriage.. he feels it was a tremendously liberating experience, talking to us. We otes: In the beginning, we slept in the bulkhead, as we did last fall. It was relatively waterproof. It will be hard to remember just how bad it was when it rained. Why it should seem worse to be "indoors" and getting rained on through the plywood than if one were merely standing outside in it is not clear to me, but this seems to be the case. {Will disagree's, the traps flapping on last years screen house drove him wild at night} The rhe evening blowing up ritual became also a dawn ritual and the air escaping became audible. Attempts were made to find a similar sized mattress. The sleeping bags, with wool blankets being added as the season progressed, had not been washed in years. An unfortunate imagery developed. Climbing into the tent at night became as creeping into a rectum. The Rectum it became known as. Finally that great day arrived when the mattress was removain poured down in four by eight sheets (through the cracks at the plywood joints). It was not clean water. In the beginning, some satisfaction could be had by sqeegeeing and shoveling water to the south side of the basement where the last pour had not yet been done. Soon this simple pleasure was taken and we had to watch the basement fill. Currents were discernable. Everything molded. The weathermen lie. After Wills livingroom floor was ed from the house in boylston (which made visits to boylston less comfortable) and shortly thereafter the bedstead of Judiths was brought from Hampstead. Out from under the tent the air seemed fresher, the bags are still unwashed. {Early December} We must have mentioned somewhere that a woodstove given by Bud and Carolyn was installed last year. It is more useful now with a house over it. The bulkhead is filled with wood taken from the poured we could at least sit in a somewhat dry spot. The noise of the water falling was nearly deafening at times. Quite early on, the toilet was hooked up. Showers were still taken by the path to the garden. The mosquitos were fearsome there. Eventually it was possible to sleep in the tent on the first floor, somewhat protected from rain by the newly forming 2nd floor and tarps. The dog prefers to sleep outside in the rain rather thabarn sight. We have our first mice. The temperature in the cellar in the winter with the woodstove going still does not rise much, but the wind is cut down, esp with a door installed opening into the bulkhead. Even with no insulation, in the winter, the upstairs part of the house is often warmer during the day than the cellar. Another aside concerns the building inspector who has yet to see the structure. He wants to wait until the rough plumbinn indoors in the rain. By the time much of the second floor was up, it was too hot to sleep in the tent and the screenhouse as mentioned elsewhere was esthetically very nice but not bugproof. A larger table top, brought by Rick made life nicer in the basement. The gas stove from Boylston was brought up, the stove top unfortunately was brought only partway north, it blew off on the highway somewhere. The old Bolylston sink was also instalg and wiring are in. We are told that a licensed person must do both by one of the neighbors. Will is very concerned, but finally checks with the inspector. He is very agreeable, and says he "has no problem with us doing it ourselves"! A great relief for Will, but important to get it done before the situation changes. Flora and fauna: We did a little field work, as therapy. If the power failed (couldn't use theled, cold water only. And a practically new noisy refrigerator completes the picture. As cold weather approaches we remove permanantly to the now-rain proof basement. We set up the tent. Our airmattress began to leak in early summer. One of our evening rituals became the blowing up of the mattress. The pump then failed making this a more strenuous feat. Leaks were found and patched with ducttape till no more could be found. T power saw) or we got real bored, we'd go clear some brush. We made a nice trail to the South and cleared some of the brush around Jude's garden site. The heat of the summer of 88 was mentioned. It was also dry in N England(as elsewhere) The dryness was good for the building. Several other conditions were noted. Last year, during the building of the foundation etc. great numbers of frogs and salamanders were found. Buckets of amphibians ays and fly to mexico so after about 30 days judith carefully removed it to a special pedastal and because it was now getting cold, began to take it "indoors at night". Changes could be discerned, it was just a little slow. The window was installed. So after about 60 days William got the brilliant idea of sending it to our buddies in New Mexico where it could then catch up to ITS buddies on their way to old Mexico. Federal Express. It seemed were removed on a daily basis before work could proceed. Green frogs, leopard frogs, spring peepers, wood frogs, red efts, red backed salamanders as well as spotted and one rare Jefferson's salamander. Only one toad was seen in 87. This year was a year of toads. only two red efts were seen (both had only one eye !?) Toads however could be spotted squeezing themselves under the cellar windows and plopping to the floor. The deerflies also just about to emerge. But alas. It was reported to be dead on arrival. end of story.getting cold, began to take it "indoors at night".

So after about 60 days William got the brilliant idea of sending it to our buddies in New Mexico where it could then catch up to ITS buddies on their way to old Mexico. Federal Express. It seemed seemed to have been affected. There were not nearly so many in 88. Great blue heron were seen many evenings in the late summer and fall, possibly a regular route took them over the house. A Phoeboe practiced nest building in the "kitchen" joists. Something eagle-like was noticed one day. The rest of the bird sightings I will not bore you with. As far as mammals go...the deer are regular visiters to the garden sight (we see the tracks, but haveite(char(dir.fname[i])); write('.'); for i:= 0 to 2 do write(char(dir.ext[i])); l := 256.0*(256.0*hi(dir.szhi) + lo(dir.szhi)); l := 256.0 * (l + hi(dir.szlo)) + lo(dir.szlo); writeln(' start cluster # ',dir.sfat,' len ',l); end; {recursively calls seldir to get sub directory information makes temporary modification of boot.maxdir and saves old value locally currently only displays directory name and size as currenlty configured, can not handle no contiguous subdirectorie yet to see the animals), which is still planted to winter rye and, briefly till frost, peas and soybeans. A raccoon with distemper made its last and possibly first house call. Porqupines are a predominant species here. Jetsam received her first quills in spring, stuck politely in the very end of her nose. She did not make a fuss. Two birdhouses were set out in the far field, but possibly too late in spring to be of interest.

We have numbered them in (nominally) chronological order. The numbers are on the back of each photo. We gave you individual prints so you can mix and match to suit on your bulletin board. These notes describe the interesting features of the individual shots. Also included for your records ll's hot air distribution system in the floor. Also shown (without head) is Ms. Eldridge who is painting the floor beams which are in turn supported by tree trunks. The beams are lying on their sides. Another job which is not well documented here was the installation of the sewer drains beneath floor. (Also not documented was removal of salamanders and frogs, sometimes as many as 7 or 8 per day, which somehow kept wandering in during the night despite jude's bis a brief summary of our first year of house building and the design calculation sheet we submitted to the building inspector. Note that photo 20 is not included as we sent it back to be reworked, it should follow in a few weeks. 1 & 2 - the screen house we lived in most of the summer with and without its (noisy) plastic rain fly. Note our dog is in the manure truck with Jude and the neighbor's dog (the condo shepherd) is on the ground. #1 is taken from the path half way between the harricades.) 12 - look carefully at Ms. Eldridge. She is drilling holes in the beams with the drill press which is on rollers for traversing the beam. In the forground is our first poured column which will support a 1st and eventaully 2nd floor beam. The three columns of blocks between the poured column and the main wall are temporary supports on which the beam was rolled into place. Notice the leaves start to turn, its fall now. 13 - Ms. Eldridge trowelling the 2nd floor pour. Youse and garden while #2 is looking in the opposite direction (west) from the other side of the garden site. In #1 Jude seems to be preparing some culinary delight, such as Dinty Moore beef stew, over campfire which is in front of director's chair. (Chairs courtesy of Van Loan) 3 - is looking south over where the house will be (see also 5 & 19 for contrast). Note the director's chair where the kitchen will be. 4- looking west up toward the visible neighbor's house, same time as 3.ou are looking north directly at the bulk head opening in the north wall. The first pour included the western end of the basement and the 14" high reinforced concrete "bond beam" above the contractors 8' high wall. This beam contains a LOT of steel as the contractors wall doesn't contain any. It holds the floor beams in place and bridges the bulkhead opening to support the 1st and 2nd floor walls. 14 - Jude and her rock pile. (She has a few more now, but not enough!) 15 - appren 5 & 6 respectively looking south and west after excavation 7,8, & 9 looking west, south, and north as walls poured. Note the large fireplace footing in 9, block work is about to begin on this pad after waiting more than a month for the cement contractor. Shot 9 also shows the "bulkhead" we talk about in the north wall of the basement, it is an opening to the north for direct access to the basement. (jude's note: lad with the light blue t shirt and hat has by far the best body, althoughtice mason cutting half-round slots in flue tile 16 - master mason setting said tiles in place. Fireplace support is nearly complete. It contains two flues (furnace and future basement wood stove) and will also support the beam over master mason's head. You are looking south. In the forground is another section of the "bond beam" mentioned in 13 with the form work still in place. 17 - looking north east. The main point is that we are into LATE fall weather. Apprentice mason is sh this, alas, does not come across in photos. Jude asserts that this comment is based on visual judgement, not performance.) 10 - looking north again as "smiling" Jim Hanna, our excavator, sets the second of our two 1st floor beams on the foundation. The machine was on site to dig and fill the footing drains. Activity not shown previously included Jude's tarring the walls and putting 2" foam panels up as insulation on top of this tar. 11 - looking west, shows "fungal farm" which is Wiown beside here front entrance foundation block work. In background is the western end of the "bond beam" and the top of the bulk head block work (also by the apprentice mason) just in front of Doug's old Saab which is serving as the tool locker in this picture. (Jude wonders if the terms "master" and "apprentice" are accurate. So-called apprentice mason has laid (and relaid) many more blocks, although lighter ones, than the master.) 18 - Erich Kranz and Ms. Eldridge putting the eastern 5 lb/ft Point load of 10695 lb in center from 2nd floor roof beam Note: loading on individual sections of this beam are not equal, hence worst case calculation for simply supported beam is shown. Deflection for simply supported W10 x 30 beam spanning 132" uniform load 0.17" point load 0.11" total (span/360 = 0.37) 0.28" The simply supported 13' center span for this beam has as a worst case the same uniform load and no poiedge of the 1st floor decking in place (finally). 19 - looking south south east. More than half the decking is done, faint trail of smoke from chimney indicates we have the wood stove going for occasional warmth even though house is not enclosed. Dog in forground has a red ribbon in the hopes that deer hunters won't make a mistake. Heap of plastic and boards in lower right corner indicates temporary roof over bulkhead. We finally moved from the tent to thent load: Deflection = 0.33" (span/360 = 0.43) The cement slab is to be a steel reinforced slab and beam. Four transverse cement beams with overall depth of 10" from the top of the beam to the reinforcing bars support the slab. The two center beams have 0.81 sq. in. of steel and a width of 7" to support a 3' tributary load. The end beams have 0.4 sq. in. of steel and a width of 4" as they only support half the load of the central beams.

Dog in forground has a red ribbon in the hopes that deer hunters won't make a mistake. Heap of plastic and boards in lower right corner indicates temporary roof over bulkhead. We finally moved from the tent to theeria are for a combined live and dead load of 268 lb/ft on the central beam sections spanning 180" (15'). The steel ratio is p = 0.01 producing a "balanced beam" with 2500 psi concrete. Fiber stress in the steel is 1.3E4 psi, less than half the 30,000 psi limit. Unit shear is 25 psi, less than half the criteria which would require shear reinforcement. Using the steel area and moment arm, the beam has a moment of inertia of 57 cubic inches. Deflection for cement beams = 0.18 (span/360 = ls of the slab are discussed below, but an average depth of 6" is assumed for the girder calculations. Assuming a cement density of 144 lb per cubic foot, the dead load from this slab will be 72 lb/sq ft with a live load of 40 lb/sq ft. The eastern girder supports half the slab load, 840 lb/ft and half of the floor load from the eastern third of the house, 375 lb/ft. A simply supported beam with a 168" (14') span is assumed ( this is conservative as the fireplace masonry and floor load o0.5) A W10 x 15 steel beam will also be used in the garage so that a column is not required in the center of the space. In the proposed barn design, this beam carries the load from a 9.5' x 11' area of the roof as a point load of 5225 lb at the center of an 18' span. A simply supported calculation shows deflection = 0.54" (span/360 = 0.60) and this is conservative because this beam spans the entire 38' of the existing foundation and will act as if it is rigidly supported on the central n the north side of this beam will tend to make the center rigidly supported). Deflection for a W10 x 21 beam: 0.36" (span/360 = 0.47) The westerly girder supports the following loads over an 132" (11') span which begins at the southern wall: Uniform loads: half cement slab load 840 lb/ft 1/2 first floor bedroom 375 lb/ft 1/3 of studio roof load 200 lb/ft 15' tributary 2nd floor load 900 lb/ft total 231column."In the proposed barn design, this beam carries the load from a 9.5' x 11' area of the roof as a point load of 5225 lb at the center of an 18' span.

I get up in the middle of the night to pee and find the dog in a 1/2" pool of water on the floor (our bed is above dog's which is in the low spot Rick and I accidently created during the 2nd pour). Raise dog's bed out of water on blocks! Next morning we go to Bud and Carolyn's for Turkey. We finish up the joist work around the stair well (northern side of house) and put the plywood down. Jude works at least one day by hersight we drain the hoses so they don't freeze solid. Wool socks, full suit of long johns (2 for Jude) sweater and hat are the uniform...before getting up in the morning and getting dressed. The bed consists of two fragrant down bags zipped together, one heavy down bag unzipped over, topped by three wool blankets and one semi shepherd footwarmer. We have a nice picture of Jude setting block with 3" of snow in the background. We had been doing most of our cooking over a camp fire, but this justelf while Will is warm as toast at Brattas earning money. We are fairly worried at this point about getting it enclosed before the snow flys. Especially as Brattas keeps threatening to send Will to L.A. for a week or more. Fortunatly this doesn't happen until Dec 15. On Dec. 6 Jim Hanna (finally) gets back for a day with his backhoe. He backfills the walls (we were waiting until the floor decking was in place for support), sets our 500 gal. oil tank in place, and digs a trench from the isn't comfortable anymore. My records show we started going out to eat dinner Sept 17 and had sixteen restaurant meals by the end of the year. By the end of Dec we had moved up to the house and installed a wood stove. This facilitated doing our own cooking again. The last recorded meal in 1987 was Dec 11 and this was taking the St. Pierre's out to dinner as a return on their electric power supply. Rick comes up for the weekend of Nov 14 and Bud also helps on Sunday. We start the well casing to the house. At this point all the permanent decking is in place, but there are two large openings in the floor where the stairs and concrete floor section in the first floor will be. We have obtained an old wood stove from Bud and Carolyn and connected it to the furnace chimney. We can at least dry gloves and get warm, but with the big openings in the deck there is no chance of warming the cellar. We hook up the lines to the oil tank and well. Then with some assistance joists and plywood for the Eastern end of the 1st floor. Start is a little hectic as Dennis Lumber our normal supplier does not have "span stamped" plywood as required by BOCA code. Get lumber for more money at local supply house, the Lumber Barn. We get 1/3 of joists in place and most of this covered with plywood. Jude and Will continue to work when the weather is decent, but it is getting chancey. Will cuts another batch of joists and Jude builds a temporary roof over the bulkhead. from Jude, Will fills the trenches back in by hand (would have been an hours work for a backhoe, but hard to get anyone at this time of year). Jude makes plastic windows for south side of the basement. We build temporary roofing over the two holes in the decking and worry about how to protect the plywood until spring. Some of the sheets have started to buckle even though they are exterior grade and were covered with builders plastic. Six mil builders plastic flat on the plywood seems to Rick came up for two more days of decent weather Nov 23 and we get the South Western third of the basement decked over. We move from the screen house to the bulkhead on Nov. 24. It is so cold we can not sleep because the cold comes through the air mattress from the concrete floor (note this had not been a problem in screen house with the mattress on the ground). Next day we put a 2" foam insulation board under the air mattress and it is bareable. Thanksgiving eve we sleep in bulkhead agagive almost no protection as the water pools up and finds pin holes to leak through. Jude paints a water sealer on the deck on the few occasions it is dry. We work hard over the weekend of Dec 13 to finish temporary protection for the plywood which consists of fiber reinforced plastic tarps draped over 2"x6" joist. As expected, Will's trip to L.A. has finally materialized and he goes West on the 15th. Jude had planned to finish the roof protection while Will is away, but it snows and stf this faces south. I estimate another $6,000 to get a leach field (@ $3,000) finish the floor slabs ( basement, 1st floor, and entrance hall @ $2,000) and get the electricity run underground from the road to the house. If we can get the framing done at the $8000 figure, we can expect to spend a total of $40-45,000 more next year to get the shell up. As indicated above, this does not include travel expenses, groceries cooked over the camp fire, or booze (this last item may have beenays cold until Dec 22 when Will returns. The next two days are spent shoveling out the truck and roof, purchasing hay to support a gradient in the tarps, and buttoning down the Southern portion of the roof. We go to Christmas celebrations in Connecticut and on the Cape returning to Boylston Dec. 27. On the 28th Jude takes Will to work and continues up to Bradford to finish covering the last of the roof. She manages this, but ends up with the flu and barely makes it back to Will's offic significant!). Neither does it include incidental gains such as Will's apparent weight loss and gain of muscle tone nor Jude's aquisition of 9? truck loads of manure for the garden and a huge pile of rocks for the fireplace. Approximately $400 of the material (lumber and tarps) was for the temporary roofing. Some will be reused as 1st floor wall studs while most of the plywood will be used to form the 1st floor concrete slab in front of the fireplace. Jude imagines she will get to usee in Nashua (puking all the way).  As a general point of interest we appear to have spent more nights in Bradford during Nov and Dec than we did in Boylston!

Total for lumber was $11,500, by this estimate we should have spent $2000 to get where we are now. This isn't so bad, but I also estimated the windows at $5,500 and Jude's more refined list looks like $11,000. Part of the window increase (33% per sq. ft. of glass) is going from Anderson to Marvin and adding E glass, but we have added a lot more (44%) glass since the first estimate.
