A Timber-Framed Building at No. 302 Lawnmarket, Edinburgh
Anne Crone and Diana Sproat Revealing the History Behind the Facade: A Timber-framed Building at No. 302 Lawnmarket, Edinburgh The property at No. 302 Lawnmarket, Edinburgh, is a rare survival of a ‘timber land’, the timber-framed buildings that were once commonplace along the city’s Royal Mile and elsewhere in Scotland in the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Two painted panels survive as components of the timber frontage, providing insights into the nature and function of the galleries that projected from these buildings. The building also retains fragments of two richly decorated board-and-beam ceilings, the beams of which have been successfully dated by dendrochronology. One possible interpretation of the dendrochronological results is that multi-storied tenements such as No. 302 may not have been conceived as such but were built upwards in stages, the platform-framing of the box-like construction allowing for storey-by-storey development. Background Between 2006 and 2008, AOC Archaeology Group undertook a detailed survey of Nos. 302–304 Lawnmarket, two Category A listed tenement buildings located within the Old Town of Edinburgh. The work was undertaken as part of a planning condition for the redevelopment of a large plot located at the junction between George IV Bridge and the Lawnmarket, now the Missoni Hotel. The buildings have now been incorporated into this development, with shops on the ground floor and hotel accommodation on the upper levels (Figure 1). As with many of the medieval tenements along the Royal Mile, the buildings have, throughout their history, provided commercial premises on their ground floors and basements, and accommodation in the upper floors. -

We are Wonderwall Studios. This is our story. UPCYCLE HONESTY CRAFTMANSHIP Wonderwall Studios is a creative studio that designs and produces wooden panelling for walls and surfaces. We use exclusively salvaged wood and employ local professional craftsmen. You could say we craft locally and rock globally. FUTURE EXPLORE DEVOTED OUR PHILOSOPHY At Wonderwall Studios we believe strongly in taking proper care of the communities we work in and the people we work with. The local craftsmen we work with are professional carpenters and tradesmen. We pay an honest wage for an honest days work. And we treat everyone as we would our own family and friends. The woods we use are therefore exclusively salvaged from abandoned houses, derelict sheds, rail road-sleepers, naturally fallen trees and old floors. Anything goes really, as long as it’s reclaimed. We are all about joyous materials and sustainability through reclamation. OUR PRODUCTION AND DESIGN PROCESS We keep everything we do in-house: From the reclamation of the wood to the design, marketing and selling of the collection. Of course we do everything we do with great care. But it’s our design process that we are particularly fond and proud of. During our searches for suitable wood, we always keep our eyes open for any new trends and styles. Fully inspired we head back home or to the workshop and let the creative juices flow. We sketch, doodle, draw and throw stuff at the wall and we discuss our design ideas with the woodworkers. They’ll tell us which wood type will work best for each design. -

Avoid over-designing that will result in unnecessarily high material costs. Spruce, Pine or Fir should be adequate for most conditions; provide a rationale for any other species. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES PRODUCTS Use of wood from well-managed forests is preferred. Specify one or more of the following standards: Forest Stewardship Council (FSC); Sustainable Forest Initiative (SFI); or Canadian Standards Association (CSA). Using certified wood encourages a well-managed forest industry. Look for engineered wood products with certified wood content, recycled or recovered wood, and/or products that are produced within 500 miles of the project site.

Navy Force Structure and Shipbuilding Plans: Background and Issues for Congress
Navy Force Structure and Shipbuilding Plans: Background and Issues for Congress September 16, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RL32665 Navy Force Structure and Shipbuilding Plans: Background and Issues for Congress Summary The current and planned size and composition of the Navy, the annual rate of Navy ship procurement, the prospective affordability of the Navy’s shipbuilding plans, and the capacity of the U.S. shipbuilding industry to execute the Navy’s shipbuilding plans have been oversight matters for the congressional defense committees for many years. In December 2016, the Navy released a force-structure goal that calls for achieving and maintaining a fleet of 355 ships of certain types and numbers. The 355-ship goal was made U.S. policy by Section 1025 of the FY2018 National Defense Authorization Act (H.R. 2810/P.L. 115- 91 of December 12, 2017). The Navy and the Department of Defense (DOD) have been working since 2019 to develop a successor for the 355-ship force-level goal. The new goal is expected to introduce a new, more distributed fleet architecture featuring a smaller proportion of larger ships, a larger proportion of smaller ships, and a new third tier of large unmanned vehicles (UVs). On June 17, 2021, the Navy released a long-range Navy shipbuilding document that presents the Biden Administration’s emerging successor to the 355-ship force-level goal. The document calls for a Navy with a more distributed fleet architecture, including 321 to 372 manned ships and 77 to 140 large UVs. A September 2021 Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report estimates that the fleet envisioned in the document would cost an average of between $25.3 billion and $32.7 billion per year in constant FY2021 dollars to procure. -
