Post and Beam Dream Come True

For some people having a post and beam house would be a dream come true...for these same people, having TWO would be an even bigger dream come true. For one Rockingham, VT client, her dream has arrived. Not only one post and beam structure, but a timber frame barn and a timber frame home. BOTH by Vermont Timber Works and Richard Monahon Architects.

Congrats Carol, the barn is really shaping up...stay tuned for many post and beam home pictures soon...

One of my favorite post and beam homes...

Vermont Timber Works Chase House. This 24 x 40 hemlock post and beam home has a very straight forward design.
Can you see the 4 bents? 3 bays?
How about now?

This is a wonderful starter home design with plenty of timber frame addition possibilities as your family grows.

One thought is a post and beam garage with living space above. Connecting through a timber frame breeze way which includes a new post and beam entry and porch area. I think that is a great idea!

Rosenthal Beam / Reclaimed White Oak

Approved. Thank you Austin Patterson Disston Architects! Sometimes when working with reclaimed timbers, you just can't find what is specified and in this case the beam we needed was structural. Doug and the Trestlewood crew found this gorgeous antique beam with hand hewn sides and a rounded bottom as a substitution. This will be the only beam with a rounded edge, and we think it will be perfect as a structural ceiling beam. Perhaps even the focal point of the room.

Post and Beam and MORE Reclaimed Timbers.

Our very own Doug is on the road today, meeting with the Trestlewood folks at their Indiana Mill. Vermont Timber Works has ordered more reclaimed hand hewn white oak for the Rosenthal Project. Remember the Davis hand hewn oak timbers? Here is a picture to remind you:

The timbers that Trestlewood has chosen for us will be very similar to what we used on the Davis job. Authentic. The reclaimed timbers are located from demo projects all over the country. If you know of a post and beam barn or building that is being taking down, give Trestlewood a call. They may be able to help place those timbers.

Vermont Timber Works hand crafts post and beam homes in not only reclaimed timbers but also resawn timbers, green timbers, antiqued or weathered timbers and even some kiln dried timbers. Depending on your design and what you envision, we can help you decide which is best timber option for you.

Post and Beam RAISING in Sagaponack, Let's raise your timber frame SERIES.

Doug is on the road contracted as site supervisor for the raising of the Davis Residence Post and Beam. Phase one consists of the structural center section, which is also the focal point of the design. This post and beam constructed frame features reclaimed hand hewn white oak from James & Company. The timbers are reclaimed from various barns and buildings all over the country and delivered to Alabama for hand selection.

I'll be adding more to this post, please check back!

Post and Beam and Reclaimed Timber Frame.

The Davis Project is coming together, after a long search for the reclaimed white oak timbers.

Fabrication is complete and the pre-assembly begins! Doug, Todd and MJ will prefit, adjust as needed and label each timber. This will insure proper installation on job site.

As you can see, Kramer is very involved in the pre-assembly process.

As is Ruby.

At Vermont Timber Works we always pre-assemble as needed, usually not to this extent. The reclaimed timbers are so much more difficult to work with, this extra work is important. Doug will be going to the Davis Project in a site supervisory role and Michael Davis Construction will raise this frame. With any luck we will see you next week Angela!
