Spruce Valley Lodge

The owners of this home do a lot of entertaining, and they wanted a home that could accommodate large numbers of people in the kitchen/dining/great room area. The challenge was that they wanted no center support posts or walls in this large expanse of a room. The plans called for two large steel beams to obtain this goal. The beams were 42′ long, the driveway was winding, and 130′ long; you can imagine the challenge of getting them to the site. When we set the 2 huge 42′ long by 3′ tall beams in place 18′ in the air, it looked like we were erecting a bridge. The finished area turned out to be exactly what the homeowner wanted and has entertained many a guest.
