Well, just got closed in before it snowed again. Got about 4 inches last night. Roof is covered with rubber ice and water shield although windows are just covered with plastic. Hope to get the windows in a couple of weeks.

Good progress, and none to soon. 50% chance of snow for Monday. Roof is not completely sheathed but better than nothing. The framer hoped to be done today but just taking longer than estimated (nothing new). Pictures of tubing are the radiant floor heat we are retrofitting into the existing house (in the crawlspace).

Great weather has allowed good progress on the framing. A 3 man crew has been working for 8 days now and is about 60% complete. Weather looks good for another week so hope to have the roof on and covered.Timber framer is complete except for some sanding and touch up work. Probably won't get the windows in till mid December.

Starting to get some walls. Hope to have the roof on in about 10 days, none to soon. Have had pretty good weather but see the one picture of snow on the timberframe.

Timber frame raising is complete. Here is a picture of it all put together. Material was delivered today for the walls and roof. Framers start on Tuesday. Forecast is for another 8" to 14" of snow tonight and Sunday. Oh well.

About half of the timber frame was raised today. Looks really big! Here is a short video of the raising of the center bent.

Progress continues on the timber frame. The "raising" is scheduled for October 17th and 18th. We are going to have a barbeque and anybody interested is welcome to come watch. Here are a few pictures of the frame construction. The log will be the center post in the greatroom.
