After 2 weeks of stormy conditions, we finally started building the HyggeHaus.

Floor Diaphragm

The HyggeHaus will eventually sit on six Helical Piles which will be mimicked with a timber foundation for the duration of the build at East Branch Studio. Using a laser level, some members of the crew leveled the timber foundation followed by the LVL rim joists. Once the LVL rim and end joists were squared and leveled, the crew nailed some joists on hangars with TICO nails. As winter comes to an end, the Timber foundation will begin to sink into the thawing soil so leveling will be a continuous process.

Next week the team will proceed to sheath the floor diaphragm and start building some walls!
