The New Guy

Being the new person at VTW has been a little easier than I was first expecting. The people in the office, and the timber framers out on the production floor have been great to work with. Having done sales, and having worked in the heavy timber business before, there seems to be this friendly atmosphere with the people who work in this field. Maybe it just takes a special person to hand hew a beam, or cut a mortise and tenon joint by hand, or help a client visualize what their Great Room will look like. Right know I am just trying to take in all the knowledge that I can, and enjoy the great atmosphere that is here everyday when you walk through the doors at VTW.

Timber Framing in Autumn in Vermont...

Timber Framing in Vermont in Autumn...it's really tough to take the view. Don't you think so?

As the leaves change color and fall to the ground, our Vermont Timber Works crew is very busy. We are wrapping up a custom designed horse barn to be raised in Rockingham, VT. Hemlock timbers were chosen, do you know why?

Horses tend not to chew hemlock timbers as much as other wood species.

Foliage photo's are stunning and are courtesy of our very own Megan (thank you).

Timber Framing in the fall

What a great time of year to be erecting your barn or your timber frame house. With the fall colors so bright, and the air so crisp, it is nice to live in New England. Watching your home being erected with the timbers, and trusses all being connected to give you the post & beam home that you have always wanted. Now all that is left to do is to sit in your Great Room, and wait until next fall.
