As I explained in last week’s update, the angles in any control room are unlike any angles one expects to find in normal framing carpentry. And our Control Room design has more interesting angles than most. This week we established the endpoints of the most unique framing in the project, the intersection of a sloped front wall meeting angled side walls that both intersect a ceiling that is itself both pitched and rotated. There is no steel square in the world that tells you how to measure or make those cuts. In fact, even locating where in space these different planes all intersect is a math problem unto itself. Here is the solution given in wood:
To learn how we figured this out (and about more construction progress), read on…
