HGTC Forestry Pavillion

This was a great project completed in Georgetown for the Horry Georgetown Technical College. The trusses are hand built on site and the steel plates are 3/4" thick. The beams were estimated to weigh 12,000 lbs and sit atop 18" concrete columns. This structure is huge, look at the 7 foot door in the top photo! There is also a 80 inch TV screen (see dark area in top photo). All of the wood was painted before installing the roof system. The architect (Derrick Mozzingo) was so pleased with the completed project that he submitted the design in a AIA competition in Las Vegas. I took the photos for Derrick to used.

Summer Storm - Folly Beach

This was taken at Folly Beach @ 2:30 in the morning. I waited for the storm for several hours until it finally started to produce the great lighting storm. I set the camera for a 20 second exposure. I think is was worth the wait.

Fireplace Design & Construction

Design concept of new fireplace and then the completed design. The fireplace has several panel that when touched, they open to reveal CD storage and the Audio Visual Components. The screen is installed in a wall cavity that allows the screen to be flush with the wood panels or 3 feet from the wall. The fireplace hearth is Calcutta Gold and is mitered to look 3 inches thick and is also hollow to help the fire place to vent. The door to the bedroom was built to resemble the wall panels. The Brazilian Cheery floors were stained Jet Black to set off the whole room.
