Brandt Home Taking Shape: Framing Days 1&2

I again have the wonderful opportunity to work with my father, Randy Wheelock and my cousin, Lukas Dearmin, in building another project along the Front Range. And this time I’m even swinging a hammer and toting a nail gun, Yee-Haw! Yesterday was gorgeous and felt like a May day, perfect for framing. Today the central Rockies were blessed by flurries of snow (Yes, SNOW!) but the cloud cover burned off for a beautiful afternoon. It’s really a great experience to be working with Lukas and Neil to frame a building I designed; creating a deeper understanding of process and craft. I’m already getting new ideas for the next project!
