Update on New Hampshire Timber Frame Home

Here is an update on the frame raising of a New Hampshire timber frame home going up near a well known lake in the Monadnock region. The timber frame home is made up of Douglas fir timbers and the main frame is a principal purlin common rafter system. The frame is almost complete and the next step will be to install the panels!
