The raising of Jen & Gregs.

As you look at these pictures, keep in mind these are timber framed houses. The beams are huge, like many buildings in Europe which are still standing after 800 years. The live expectancy of a timber frame house are classified ‘Permanent Construction' and have life expectancy of concret or masonry buildings.


The frames (barn raising if you will... or even won't) define these houses, and so we have two pages of images of the framing. The framing of mine is on the second page.


The first of these images is a link to a flash movie of the first wall going up on Jen and Greg's house. You'll need the flash plug-in to view it..
