Post & Beam Warmth

As we head into the part of winter most of us dread, the thought of sitting by the wood stove or fireplace in a timber framed home, just seems to give you that warm feeling. With the end of the holiday season almost over, and the decorations that adorned the posts and beams around the house all put away, it is time to sit back and enjoy the rewards of having a timber home.

Post and Beam

Post and beamwork is a tradition very much alive at Vermont Timber Works in North Springfield Vermont.

Timber Barn, Post and Beam House, Timber Framed Offices

There is a lot going on at Vermont Timber Works this November. Our shop is quiet this week as our cutting and raising crew is putting up a timber barn in Rockingham, VT. It's nice to have a job so close to home. While they are gone, the shop is filling up with 3 other orders.

On the floor in the shop are piles of hemlock timbers that are waiting to be laid out for the same customers that we are raising a timber barn frame for now. Thanks to the Blackwoods for their business.

Unloading right this moment are the heavy timbers for some trusses in Massachusetts, and an administrative complex in New Hampshire. Commercial spaces that are timber framed create a warm, professional atmosphere that makes a great first impression on the public. We are working with Combined Energy Systems on Douglas Fir timber trusses for a residence in Westwood, MA. With daylight savings time changing over the weekend, we are burning literally all the daylight we have to hand craft heavy timber frames for our clients. Give us a call and we can start a timber frame for you that will last for generations.

Super Bubble 2008

Vermont Timber Works is still busy hand crafting heavy timber frames for all sorts of commercial buildings and post and beam homes, all over the country. We also still have a few laughs in between sticks.

At the center of this week's physical challenge, is our own Jason Snell whom you may remember from the milk chug that was never to be, (Rick's fault) and other escapades. Super Bubble, is a classic bubble gum in that it is hard at first, and flavorless in seconds. "Hot Toddy" from our finish crew apparently has quite a supply of Super Bubble and was selflessly sharing his abundance. At lunch, Snell mentioned that he began putting a fresh chunk in to the existing wad, every time it lost flavor. This turned out to be pretty frequent.

To make a long story short, Jason was challenged, and then backed out on, for a muffin bet that included 25 pieces chewed for 10 minutes. Naturally, despite the bet being canceled, Jason went ahead with the 25 piece challenge.

Timber Frames and Post and Beam Buildings

If your in the market for a timber frame home, barn, or commercial building, you will not regret calling Vermont Timber Works. We fabricate and erect timber frames of all sizes and shapes all over the country and beyond. Vermont Timber Works has been adding to it's list of satisfied clients for over twenty years.

Our economy is suffering and times are tight for most people. Structures on your property or for your business are the largest investments you are likely to make, and you need something that will last, and hold it's value as much as it can in these uncertain times. Natural heavy timber frames from Vermont Timber Works are investments that you will not regret, and that you can depend on for generations. We provide hand cut, traditionally joined timber frames of the highest quality. While you will generally invest more money into a top quality timber frame than you will in a conventional frame, timber buildings are some of the longest lasting most beautiful structures on the planet.

We focus exclusively on timber frames, ensuring that the skeleton of your new timber home, timber barn, timber roof system, or timber pavilion is the finest quality and as strong as it can be. Please give us a call at 802.886.1917 and let us help you begin with a timber frame that will add value to your property, for the future.

Timber Barn Crew Returns

Our timber frame raising crew is on their way back today from PA. Despite some design changes and field cutting, they are returning on schedule due to what I am sure were long days. The shop has certainly been silent and we are looking forward to having things back to normal.

They have just raised an oak barn measuring 42'X96'. That is a lot of barn. We look forward to posting some photos of this project.

If you are planning on a post and beam barn, or a timber framed home, please give us a call. Vermont Timber Works can help you get started on any size heavy timber project, anywhere in the country. We look forward to hearing from you at 802.886.1917
