After years of searching for a waterfront house site, we found a lot this fall on Mascoma Lake, very near our current house. This blog will follow the progress of our new timberframe house construction this year. Please enjoy and share our excitement. You can click on any picture for a larger view.

Porch, beam straps, framing and color

These are pictures from last week. Lots happening now. The first pictures show the back of house facing lake, with porch finished. Eventually it will be all screened. It connects from kitchen to great room to master bedroom, and will have hot tub on master bedroom end. Interior framing continues, next is views of master bedroom wall and ceiling with tall steel post to support roof. In basement, radiant heat is installed, concrete floor poured, and work is begining with duct system for A/C and some air heating. Next are 2 of first views of steel straps that hold keyed beams together. We really like them. They have also started to install painted trim under the roof, so this is the first glimpse of house trim color (siding will be lighter). Finally, concrete in front porch makes it look more finished. Lots more decisions to make, keeping us busy.
