Douglas Fir Saltbox

It's quiet this week in the office.  Almost all of the people in the shop are down in Connecticut raising some trusses for a church.

 

So, while they are away I'm working on a Saltbox on an island in Canada.  Even for being a smaller frame all of the walls have lots of glass so I'm sure that the views on site are incredible.  Seismic loading is going to control the lateral design of this frame.  So what is a saltbox house?  Well, read this Historic House Blog to get more information.

 

I f you want to see more styles of timber frames like this saltbox, visit Vermont Timber Works.
