Radiant in floor heating was selected as the best way to efficiently heat the new 12,614 manufacturing & design facility. Rather than heating the entire air space, a radiant floor system heats just the floor space people actually use. Hany Mechanical of Ellington, CT was on the job this week installing the heating system.

The crew continues to make great strides on the new building. Since our last post, metal roofing, metal siding, faux barn doors, and rusty metal + reclaimed clapboard siding have gone up.

Our own skilled carpenters, hired and employed by The Barn Yard, craned over 100 60' trusses at the new Manufacturing & Design Facility last week. Every day since, the building begins to look more and more like the rendering on the banner out front.

From building the wall panels on Monday to having all the walls standing on Friday, it's been an awesome week at the new 12,614 sq. ft. Manufacturing & Design Facility. Take a look at these progress photos.

The Barn Yard & Great Country Garages is proud to announce that we are working on a new manufacturing facility at the intersection of Lower Butcher Road & Windermere Ave. in Ellington! The new facility will be home to our wall panel manufacturing, delivery crew, construction crew, project management, and delivery coordination. Currently, the lot is being cleared by a logging machine that makes light work of the thickly wooded area. Click for a video of the logging operation & a panorama of the lot.

The state's best Elks Lodge is built! As promised, this blog post contains a photo of the custom timber framed portico entrance designed by The Barn Yard. Our goal with this and any custom project is to provide a comfortable atmosphere with our inspired design. Hopefully you'll agree that we accomplished this with the Elks Lodge.

The Elks Lodge is a hybrid design utilizing framing elements of concrete, steel, conventional wood, and timber frame construction. The Barn Yard is your one stop design/build contractor for any light commercial project. It's exciting to watch the Elks Lodge take shape and become more and more like the design.

Since when did a little snow stop The Barn Yard crew? Following blizzard conditions yesterday, the crew was at the job site first thing this morning. They had no time to waste. Today is crane day at the new Danbury Elks Lodge on Route 7.
