Post and Beam Buildings SWEEP UP!

Trailer for sale or rent
Rooms to let...fifty cents.
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but..two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room....

Okay...
Maybe not NOW-A-Days....
BUT....
I'm thinking that 3 weeks of pushing broom could put a pretty good dent in a deposit on a Timber Frame!

The Cadillac of Timber Frames.....

Everyone has a wish list....
Face it...

If someone asks if you'd like a Cadillac or a Pacer, which would you choose?
I'm thinking it probably wouldn't be the Pacer, unless of course you are a die hard Wayne's World Fan.

The same goes for the Timber Frame Industry. There are the Cadillacs of Timber Framing, or the Pacers. We, of course, are the Cadillac Dealer.

As we have stated in previous blogs and articles, we pride ourselves in being the top of the line, custom hand crafted quality tradesmen of Fine Heavy Timber Products.
All Trusses, Barns, Homes, Churches, Porte Cocheres, etc. are created through blood sweat and tears, not through milling machines and prefabricated kits.

We may not always come in with the lowest bid, but we are confident that we create the superior product. All Heavy Timber Frames are NOT the same. Just as all automobiles are not the same. Why would you buy the basic floor model with limited features and roll down windows, when you could buy the fully loaded model with all the bells and whistles, and be much more satisfied with your decision?

Bottom line? You get what you pay for!

Drop that Timber Frame and take a BREAK!

It's the Fourth of July Weekend, and although we would LOVE to stay here at Vermont Timber Works and work through the holiday, some of us are forced to part from this establishment to have a little ....ummmmm...FUN!

Don't get me wrong, it's ALWAYS fun here at VTW, but there are those times when we have to leave behind the piles of Heavy Timber that fill the shop....put away the Tools of the Timber Framing Trade....Stop thinking about Trusses and Joinery, and simply walk away.

This is one of those times.

Of course we will be thinking NONSTOP about myriad of projects that await our return while we are away for the long weekend. The Timber Barns and Great Room Trusses, the Residential projects and Commercial projects that need to be completed.....How will we be able to relax, knowing that all of these timber frames need our attention?

Okay- maybe that's going a little too far...
But remember...
We are a dedicated bunch...
When it's NOT the Fourth of July!

Have a safe and Happy Holiday weekend!
From your friends at Vermont Timber Works
