Great Room Additions

November 24, 2009 Leave a comment

Many times the additional to a home becomes a great room. An open gathering space for family to relax, unwind and just be together. Getting that big open space can be a beautiful accomplishment with post and beam construction and timber beams.

The fireplace and /or hearth with wood stove is always welcome in a New England Project!

The NEW Chapel for Holy Apostles is making incredible progress! OR should I say Sullivan Brothers and all their subcontractors are? Either way, this timber frame project is stunning and all involved are very happy.

What goes into a post and beam home you ask?  Ok, you didn’t ask, but I’m going to tell you. The posts and the beams of course.  Don’t forget the braces, connectors, plates, joists, the roof system which may be a structural timber ridge with purlins or rafters.  What did I forget?

How about the thought?  At Vermont Timber Works, we custom design each post and beam home.  MUCH thought goes into each one, designing,  drafting and engineering.

OH, and we hand craft each timber frame, am I proud about that?  I sure am.  Vermont Timber Works, Inc.
