wow this has been an exciting time, it's all coming together and feels absolutely incredible! I cannot wait to be able to share this space far and wide.

a few frosty mornings, a great lookout towards the snow and then topped off with nearly 20 hot air balloons cruising past 😍

a couple weeks later and the snow's already gone, so no May opening on Mount Hutt this weekend. which only means one thing, back onto the tools, much more mahi to be done!

Big day! one i've been especially excited about,

Getting to install the big beautiful curved beam! good times. It's coming together and looking ever more glorious as it does. This beam I suppose is the crown jewel of this build, been quite difficult to get right, but then all of sudden boom its there!

Had some welcome help from my gorgeous partner as well as both my mum and brother helping with a beam each while in passing, perfect timing really, cause you start doing this stuff, someone comes at the right time and i'm just left thinking how was I ever gonna be able to do that myself?

Things started going real quick once it was time to stand the rear wall!

my rigging ability is very low, so the longest part of this was playing around with sitting the panel in the right spot when it's going down half sideways, but we got there and into the night to place the last piece! It took us about half a day to do this, and could probably be quite a bit quicker.

These are Cross-laminated timber panels or CLT, from XLAM. I opted for this due it its very low waste, and extremely fast install time. I dont have to play around trying to measure studs accurately to the curve, so even tho it has quite a high up-front cost, it gets mostly saved in labour!

What a beauty, this is first chance to see the shape of my dream of 5-6 years come into action 😃

Fantastic seeing it coming together, these beams and columns are massive! Massive thanks to the neighbour Johnny, he's been popping round with his slightly bigger tractor to help lift these into place - got a telehandler on the shopping list, but just got to work with we've got for now.

Beginning to get a feel for how big this home is and am very impressed. It's all so beutiful already and its still just the beginning 😁

Excuse the explicits! I was super excited to finally be getting the floor down, a huge milestone for zendom!

this product is called Cross Laminated Timber or CLT. I opted to use this for the project as it has a strong environmental focus and is very quick to install. By myself a tractor and a little help from my amazing partner, I have a floor slotted and installed in 1 1/2 days! (been dreaming of getting a telehandler for help with these)
It's made often with offcuts and is manufactured to size, leaving zero waste for the build side of things.

It's extremely strong and can span comfortable distances.

During the build process i'm also working with engineers and architects to iron out any design and build issues to keep it streamlined in the future.

All up it can take 2 days for the Surefoot foundations to be installed, if the steel subframe is manufactured offsite we can install in 1 day and then the floor can also be installed in 2 days. So altogether once everything is ready to go we can start from an empty site to a floor in around 1 week. No earthworks needed!
