New Job!
« on: May 26, 2003, 10:41:05 am »
A friend of mine who is a log home builder called me yesterday and told me he has a 40X60 timber frame to build. He knew I had some timber framing experience and asked me to help with it. Its funny how things work out. I had been wondering what I was going to do. I was about to run out of timber on the piece of property I had been logging and didn't want to have to look for a truck driving job. Now I'm going to get paid for getting the experience on something I really want to do!!

I must be living right!!

Good Going Scott!

Hey I tried to reply to your message regarding the shaving horse and got the email sent back saying no such yahoo acct.  You can email me or send a different messge and I will get back to you.  hibbertd@yahoo.com

Also, if you need some dry logs for the project, I have three semi loads of hand picked house/beam logs from a 4 year old burn - cut last summer.  The logs are located just south of Philipsburg which is between Butte and Missoula.

Hi, all. Sorry I haven't kept everybody up to date, I've been real busy. Anyway, this is whats happened so far. Steve, the guy who hired me, was delayed getting the timbers for a week, dealing with a small family owned sawmill just north of us in Canada. last monday the home owner and him went up and picked up most of them so we were able to get started. they are all Douglas Fir, sawn from standing dead or fire killed. most all are 10x10 a few 8x10. the shortest 8' the longest 34'. we've had a few delays and Steve hasn't been there all the time. So far we've cut the short posts and are going to start on  the top plates next.

I promise I will get some pictures posted of our progress!

feel free to ask questions or give comments.
