This carriage house goes from components and pieces, to a completely enclosed structure in five days. I’ve purposely left the time stamp on the photos so you may not only watch the progress, but be able to tell how much gets done each day. It’s a fascinating thing to see, in person or by way of pictures. 
Carriage House Construction Day 1
Our five day journey of this carriage house construction begins on March 31st of this year, 2012. The crew is on-site before 6 am and has already begun working. The previous day several panels had been set in place on the newly firm concrete floor so that work could begin early on this sunny morning.
- The crew gets to work early making certain the panels are securely in place.
- Once the first floor panels are secure, the floor joists go into place.
- Wow! By 2 pm, look how far along the crew is now. Floor joists are in!
Construction Day 2
- By 8:30 am the next day, the sub-flooring is on and preparations for the post and beam frame’s arrival have begun.
- Up on the second level, the post and beam frame begins to arrive.
- The post and beam frame takes shape.
Construction Day 3
- Another early start and the timber frame is moving right along.
- Before 10:00 am, the frame is just about finished and wall panels are being prepared to go up.
- Again, WOW!. By the middle of day 3, not only is the post and beam frame up but the completely insulated wall panels are on!
Construction Day 4
- Day 4 finds the YBH factory built, fully insulated roof panels going into place.
- Through the use a a large crane and a knowledgeable crew, the roof goes on smoothly.
- It won’t be long now!
Construction Day 5
- The roof is on! Let’s take a look inside.
- The garage and storage level is looking nice and dry!
- While interior finish work remains (the ladder is a hint!), you can already see the living space on the second level is going to be special.
- This is a wonderful interior, even without the wallboard in place!
- While taken several weeks later, you can see this carriage house continued to make progress. As with all projects, interior finish work takes some time, but all in all, this Yankee barn Homes carriage house went up quickly and efficiently!
