Not only did Canadian Timberframes supply the timber frame, but they also supplied custom steel for the trusses and custom timber stairs. The timber frame is stained with “Antique Java”. Rough-sawn Douglas fir timber with an antique finish created the look and feel of reclaimed wood, but with the structural strength of heavy timber.

You know, 10,000 s.f just isn’t enough these days. I mean, the stock market is setting records, and oligarchs are being rightfully bailed out by common taxpayers. I want my bailout money to fund at least 15,000 s.f. oligarch homes. More like 20,000. This is America, buddy, where we build big, and take care of our billionaires.
