Looks great but I am curious that there are no anchor rods or tie-down strapping. How is that being handled?
Caparelli was the master craftsman behind the concrete sheathing of the mill, but the concept almost certainly came from Harold Godwin, who bankrolled the project. After fire almost destroyed Cedarmere (which Godwin owned) in 1902, Godwin rebuilt it using concrete and started utilizing concrete on multiple projects.
Jason, excellent question. We will check with our architect and foundation supervisor for the answers.
Jason, our construction manager informed me today that anchor rods and tie-down strapping will be constructed after the timber frame is re-installed and the structure lowered to the the new foundation.
