Conventional and Engineered ...

Pictured is the Logan Residence in Pullman.  I think it is the largest residence in town - correct me if I'm wrong.  The `structural' for this house is a mix of `Conventional Wood Frame Construction' (what I call Rx) and `Engineered'.  Where bracing could not be accomplished using structural wood panel brace (or shear) walls - we incorporated tube steel frames (one pictured).  These were especially necessary where there was a lot of `glass'.


Okay, well, maybe I should photoshop out the backhoe.

NOTE:  in the Jemes Residence (earlier posts) ... behind Brian, Sharon, and Lacy are some walls where Simpson StrongWalls were employed to provide bracing ... another project involving a mix of engineered and conventional construction.
