Plymouth Permaculture

I know it’s short notice, but I’ll be doing a presentation on natural building and timber framing at the new ecohouse in Plymouth, New Hampshire tomorrow, November 17th at 5 pm. It’s located downtown on the rotary….This is the third permaculture design workshop offered by Stephanie Aubert and is exciting to know the collective design can be implimented right in downtown Plymouth…Call or email for directions and/or questions….

Friends in Thorton

I got to spend some time over the past few weeks helping good friends assemble and raise the frame that they cut themselves over a period of the last several years. All these timbers were cut and milled from their site in Thorton, New Hampshire. They did an amazing job, including a gable dormer with compound valleys and jack rafters….Even in mid November, we had a tremendously warm day- wierd, but enjoyable…

Bristol New Hampshire Barn….

I’ve been working on this project intermittenly for quite some time. All the timbers were from the several hundred acre farm, milled on site and joinery cut on site as well. It’s a 40×60 gambrel roofed barn. This is the largest project I’ve undertaken and it’s been great. There have so many people who have contributed to make this happen. There’s no way to think of a project such as this without including a diverse and talented community of builders and thinkers. I feel truly blessed to have had this opportunity, though it’s the coldest and most windy site imaginable and at times I felt more like a kite than a timber framer. This building will be around for quite some time, but it’s already filled with stories and memories for many….
