Horse Barn designed with Heavy Timber Construction...

and our Vermont Timber Works CREW is raising the horse barn this week. Although it was a bit chilly loading and unloading the truck on last Friday, the weather this week has been quite nice. Today will be in the low to mid 60's.

Megan is on the job site capturing photos and videos for us and for the client. Doug stopped by on his way into work and 2 bents are UP and progress is being made.

Two lucky horses, possibly tennesee walkers will enjoy this timber frame barn.

Here is a fine example of a TWH, courtesy of Home of South Texas Walkers. Beautiful boy!

Heavy Timber in the Trunk?

YES and it's FREE! This gentleman uses our scrap timber to help with heating, good idea, don't you think? Other's make things, either way our free timber bin doesn't stay full for long...

Some of these pieces were created hand crafting the Wiedie Horse Barn. A rough sawn hemlock timber frame barn for delivery this summer in Massachusetts.

This timber frame dining room creates a warm and comfortable place not only for meals, but for gathering in general.

Billings Farm & Vermont Timber Works

Each year over 6300 students from area schools get to visit Billings Farm, including my children. It's a wonderful place!

We worked with Smith-Alvarez-Sienkiewycz, Architects and construction manager H.P. Cummings on this project.

Raising another timber frame....at the Olana Wagon House!

The boys are in Husdon, NY this week, raising another frame! The Olana Wagon House Project, at the Olana State Historical Site. I found a video on youtube, check it out. Very interesting place, and a very interesting man, Fred Church. http://youtube.com/watch?v=aIDHGSUsk90

Initially we were invited to work on this project because of another historical barn that we did.......The Walt Whitman Barn. LOVE those referrals.

Contacted by the Architect, Bud Motzkin of Pokorny Associates, we came up with some ideas and budgetary estimates for their review. Keeping in touch is key while waiting for the project to bid. Zandri Construction Corp was awarded the Olana Project and Greg chose us as their timber framer.

Here is our shop drawing.......to give a feel for our scope...more pictures soon!

look at that joinery, mortise and tenon with hard wood pegs (cut flush).

New England Timber Frame Party Barn, Antique Timbers

This frame, built for Jack Sands is in Dublin, New Hampshire. Weathered hemlock timbers and mostly traditional joinery with a small amount of Steel Joinery. Jack wanted an antique party barn that looked like it had been there forever. We coordinated with Rick Monahon Architects and Jack's General Contractor to create this outstanding frame.

Once again our crew did the raising! If you are considering a timber frame, give us a call.
