American Flatbread - Waitsfield, VT
American Flatbread (AFB) received a VT State Barn Grant to repair the roof frame of a 42x100’ barn at their home base in
Waitsfield, VT. In the Spring of 2016, Building Heritage lifted the entire structure, with the high drive as well, approximately 2’ in the air.
Once lifted, we removed the basement level wood framing as the new foundation needed to be concrete up above the Base Flood Elevation to prevent the type of flooding that occurred during Irene. We oversaw the excavation of the foundation, pouring of the massive concrete walls as well as doing all of the jacking and timber repairs ourselves.
The barn hosts an art exhibit every summer and so the goal was to do the foundation replacement then set the building down on the foundation on the outside walls and shore it up on the interior for the art show. Immediately after Labor Day, we returned to remove the existing floor and upgrade the framing to meet load requirements for public space. Following the floor framing, the roof will be removed, and extensive repairs and replacements will occur there as well.
