Here are some before and afters of the foyer area. We uncovered the timber frame walls. The traditionally built side of the foyer was covered with car siding, painted white. The trim around the windows is period correct and milled in our workshop. A second window was added for more light. The new windows have period correct 6 over 6 panes.

So...I missed the mark on getting another post in on Friday. We had a slight family emergency (no worries, all is now well), and I have learned my lesson. We have wrapped up phase one of the timber frame's renovation/restoration. Here's some more during/after photos.The exterior doesn't seem all that different, but the interior of that wall tells a different story.

It's been a long while since we posted anything, but the Good Lord has been keeping us busy by blessing us with really great customers. Here's one of the recent restorations: We have been removing drywall and plaster & lathe to uncover a fantastic timber frame home. Our first phase will be done by Friday evening, but we will continue work here following a 3 month or so job in Ste. Genevieve. I'll put more pictures up when I get "finished product pictures on Friday.
Same wall - before and almost done:

We also did a major renovation of the St. John's Lutheran Church Parsonage (Beaufort). We were honored to be asked to do the work. We have been members there for years. Congregation members pitched in, helping with design, cleaning, electric wiring (by a retired electrician, no worries), among other things. Here are a few photos of the finished product:
