A timber frame barn raising several weeks ago in Norwich, VT felt like a super productive, jovial start to the building season for us at TimberHomes Vermont. Interesting, interested clients always make a major difference in the vibe of the project. These clients gathered some of their own kin and kind to help with construction tasks while TimberHomes and a local crane outfit raised this queen post barn. This was a typical TimberHomes barn raising event balancing long, hard days of work and abundant snacking. Early Monday morning there was only a slab. Four days later, a barn had been born complete with roof deck, weather barrier, second floor decking down, and some siding installed. Clients and friends finished up the work of siding, and we returned to help with some other minor tasks. Thanks to our clients for the final few photos of the finished timber frame barn.
