Week 17: ep-I-logue

I-beam (step on).

As promised, pics of the aforementioned I-beam (for what they’re worth… STILL need to read that C-Lux manual) that Will and Matthew put in during week 17.

The I-beam will project out from the interior east wall and serve as the main support for the staircase, thus freeing up the space underneath the stairs (no column). This means that the I-beam will be visible in the finished house… a design detail.

Under the beam.

Lou would like to leave it as it currently is, in all its steel-y glory. Depending on what we do with color on the inside of the house, though, I could see painting it a bright color… like International Orange… our nod to Ben Kelly. Or better yet, black and yellow diagonal warning stripes… sort of a Haçienda South… at least until we get the furniture in.

Can anyone convince New Order to get back together?
