Looking for lunch: an egret quietly searches for a meal at low tide on Nummy Island, between Stone Harbor and North Wildwood.
A NEW KIND OF CONSTRUCTION: Traditional stick-frame construction involves building homes on site, one piece of lumber at a time. A new method of construction is being utilized for a home on 92nd Street, and is the first of its kind on the Island. Large structural panels were fabricated by robots at Blueprint Robotics and built to very precise tolerances, then delivered to the construction site for assembly. The panels are lifted by crane onto the foundation, and permanently fastened. Unlike traditional construction, a whole house can be assembled quickly, minimizing exposure to weather. And unlike “modular” construction, any architectural design can be accommodated. Want to see for yourself? Check out the picture below, or swing by the 200 block of 92nd Street for a look!
A structural panel built by robots is moved into position via crane. Once positioned, the crew will fasten it permanently.
