Chappaquiddick, Ma


This Cape and attached Ell are new frames cut from antique timber.  The 29'x36' Cape incorporates a classic English Tying Joint, continuous plates, and a major rafter/minor purlin roof system.  The Kitchen ell is 18'x24'.  Note how the interior tie beams of the Kitchen ell extend through the plate to create the entry way.  Timbers used in these frames are hewn Pine, Spruce, and Hemlock salvaged from several barns that were too far gone to be candidates for re-assembly.  (parts barns that were otherwise going to be demolished).

Bethel, ME


This Circa 1790 eave entry English Barn was relocated from East Bethel to Bethel, Maine and converted to a house. The kitchen and most of the bedrooms and bathrooms were located in two additions to maintain the openness of the original barn frame.

St. John USVI


This is a King Post Trussed roof system for a Villa on St. John USVI. We shipped the timbers to St John and cut the roof system on site. (Great winter work!) The wood is Cypress.

The three King Post Trusses support hip and common rafters and span 24 feet. This is the ceiling in the Living Room.

(We cut New Timber Frames too!)

Stone Mountain Arts Center


The new lobby for the Stone Mountain Arts Center. This 200 year old English Barn once stood in the parking lot of the Stone Mountain Arts Center here in Brownfield. The owners, Carol Noonan and Jeff Flagg had us dismantle the frame back in 2006 to make room for the parking lot. We cleaned and repaired the frame the following summer and put it in storage to wait for re-assembly. This past Memorial Day Weekend (2010) the barn went back up. It's a beauty.

Hiram, Me


This is a new 20'x30' Barn.  The frame is Hemlock with Red Oak braces.  This frame incorporates a classic wedged dovetail tying joint.  The resulting knee wall in this tie below the plate frame provides a bit more head room in the loft.  This design is common in attached ell frames and extended or high posted cape frames.
