Well, we finally moved into the new timber frame house. It took about 18 months and still is not finished. You will notice some of the trim details aren’t quite finished yet. It seemed to take forever, ask my wife.:rant: Below is a link to photobucket. (I hope it works) The pictures are pretty bad but it you get the idea of what it looks like.

Yeah, the house is constantly making noises, some very loud like a gun. You can see how much it has checked already. Those timbers were solid and smooth when they were erected. Now you can almost fit your hand in some of the cracks. ---

I have a friend in Rochester with a tiber frame constructed house. He was losing a ton of heat through the beams to the outside. He did a reverse blower test and I infrared it for him. Saved quite a bit on heating/cooling. And his house was only 3 years old. If you were ever interested let me know. ---
