My reason for going post and beam was that I have oak and ash trees on the farm and was tired of the scribed way with pine and this is my last time building, what once was a woods full of no good hardwood trees is ending up to be the preferred tree for timber framing, I got lucky but wow for the reading I have done on my own before starting , sometimes I still get second thoughts of what I am doing but those are the days I go do something else, seeing someone elses progress pics really gives me hope !
my fiance is from michigan and boy is she fussy about me building her a country cottage , she wont move here till I get it done, why this house might take 30-40 years !
