The Experience of Living in a Timber Frame House

March 31, 2021

Living in Timber Frame Homes “I’ve never been in a timber frame home” Joe Pinciotti’s words stopped me in my tracks. Hired by the Timber Framers Guild to convey what timber framing is about, Joe was trying to get up to speed on timber framing quickly.

How to make a grand entrance and enjoy unloading groceries in the rain “The front desk had already made a great fuss of Johnny and Mary, lining up to greet him at the famous porte-cochère as soon as his splendid old Rolls-Royce had arrived…”Stephen FryMore Fool Me, 2014 We always enjoy driving into a porte cochère: there’s a certain sense of making a grand entrance, of feeling important, tinged with our nostalgia for more elegant…
