I’m one of these guys that has completely lost his marbles when it comes to prefabing building components. The following photos are of a tower prefabed complete with wood shingles, windows and trim.Topped off with a standing seam copper roof. The project consistes of a 1/2 tower, first floor foyer, second floor dining rm. and a 1/4 tower for the circular staircase. We live on the second floor and have the shop on the first floor. The towers and cone were built inside the shop before the machinery was moved in. This was my second attempt at prefabing a tower, the first was not anywhere as complex and was set using a boom truck. A good friend of mine and his brother had a huge crane and set my towers on superbowl Sunday in a misty drizzel. Increadable bunch of volunteers.
