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.

Outside work

This month the carpenters have been installing windows, trim under eves, and have befun to wrap the house with a yellow spacing material before applying clapboard siding and cedar shake shingles. The chimney is being built and weatherproofed. The masons have started laying the Old Chester stonework along foundation. The second garage cement work is done, and framing this will start next week. And our well was drilled, and has a very high flow rate, perfect for our geothermal heating system. More retaining walls being built around second garage. First picture shows scaffold on roof to build chimney. Next is cement pouring for garage foundation, and cement floor with machine laid stone walls. Next is window view with yellow wrap, then the foundation stone, and last a mock up showing what a clapboard corner will look like, flared out over the stone foundation.
