Heavy Timber Construction Requires A Heavy Duty Truck...

At Vermont Timber Works, we are doing our part to keep GMC in business! Actually we have been truck shopping for a while...

Full size crew cab and full size bed, 5th wheel hitch for hauling hand crafted timbers (when a full GMH Transport Truck is needed) and of course, hauling our job trailer full of timber framing tools. I think the guys approve.

Nothing fancy though, it is a work truck.

currently in the works....timber works that is...






Preliminary shops for the Fresh Air Fund, Camp Hayden Dining Hall. Much engineering needs to be done by our very own PJZ to finalize joint details. Vermont Timber Works is once again working with The Geddis Partnership, Cuoco Engineering and Storm King Contracting.

Stay tuned for progress shots and updates!

baby it's cold outside...warm in the Vermont Timber Works Office

This pellet stove keeps the Vermont Timber Works front office area nice and warm...we love it. With heating options so expensive, we hardly ever need to turn on the electric baseboard heat.

Doug working on design and shop drawings, Pete working on the engineering of each timber frame project (Fresh Air Fund Camp Hayden this week & next) and Rick in our estimating department enjoy the 2nd pellet stove that was added last year. The way our office is set up, one stove was just not enough. And after too many instances of coats on most of the day and trying to type with gloves on...the 2nd pellet stove was added.

Ruby thanks you Vermont Timber!
