Timber Framing

[FireFighterZero]

Oh, sure. A regular joe would be quite happy with a nice car port for his toys.

The old retired guy wants a custom hand built timber frame castle for his stuff. And a little timber frame servants quarters for the parking attendant.

Looking for a job, are you Jim?

 

[FireFighterZero]

Would I get to drive the car once in a while? Could I wear my Captain's hat?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Hail yea!

 

[stig]

Not both at the same time.

With or without a hat isn't mandatory, but unsoiled white gloves are. Pulled up smartly is what I see.

 

[Dave Shepard]

Roof trimmed out and ice and water shield on.

Looks fantastic! Board n battin or more conventional to close it in? Place has a real nice view already with leaves off it must be spectacular!

 

[Dave Shepard]

Shiplap vertical siding. View is awesome.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

beauty !

[woodworkingboy]

Nice scene!

 

[FireFighterZero]

Could you sell something like that in kit form?

I want one really bad.

 

[Dave Shepard]

Sure. $9,600 plus freight to Montana. That's frame only.

 

[woodworkingboy]

The roof stops so short overhanging the walls. I don't necessarily mean that as a criticism, but I think compared to what you normally expect to see.

 

[Dave Shepard]

It does look a little tight, but not unlike mist barns I see around here. It's a steep roof, so it looks shorter than if it was an 8 or a 9 pitch. I might go longer on the next one.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Thats not bad. Got to wonder what shipping would be.

Whats it weigh?

 

[MasterBlaster]

One million pounds... maybe a bit less.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Hmmm....5 dollars a loaded mile....

Might be more for a million pounds. Lets call it 6.

 

[Dave Shepard]

Almost done, but done enough for the wedding tomorrow. The doors did get painted yesterday.

 

[Burnham]

Mighty fine.

 

[pantheraba]

You covered up all your beautiful wood!!!

Looks good there.

 

[brendonv]

Looks great dave. Any interior pics?

 

[Dave Shepard]

I'll get some more after the wedding. I built a bar top for my workbench, the one we used in my garage. The caterers had the place packed with glassware, so I took a quick shot of it and got the hell out of there before I got wrangled into something.
