Here’s a photo of the completed heart pine barn/home frame. It was an absolute pleasure and privilege to design and build this beauty. In a fiction world where money doesn’t exist I would gladly keep on building homes like this one.

Notice the back addition. On most of the homes I build I incorporate a standard stick built addition, whether it’s a log or a timber frame home. It’s a money saving feature… the fact is that there are rooms in a house that don’t need the pizazz of glorious wood exposure…. such as the laundry room, a bathroom, the utility room, closets, etc.

And, another bonus is that we like to put these modern additions up first, they give us, and our tools, and our materials protection from the weather. When a quick shower shows up we just quickly retreat and wait it out.
