Here the beam with the two scarf joints is being lifted into place. This beam is about 46 feet in length and it didn't even groan when it was lifted.
This is Carter cutting a hole to accept a post which will be in the corner of the master bathroom.
Here is another example of the joinery that goes into creating a timberframe home.
Well, we started at 7AM this morning and called it a day at 4:45PM. The frame is about 70% complete at this time. All that needs to be done tomorrow is to fly in the top part of bent four add the purlins and rafters then erect the great room and entry porch. With luck the frame should be complete by noon.
