The crew was at it early this morning. They've already assembled the timber frame front and rear porches on the new Bethel office. It all fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. Also complete is the Timber Frame Pavilion between the office and the Newport display garage.

Here are photos from Bethel as of July 23. You can see the landscaping is nearing completion, the windows are in the office, and the temporary office is set up in a Governor's Pool House. Moving along nicely!

What's a pool without a pavilion? That's what this family thought so they opted for a Barn Yard 10' x 12' Vinyl Pavilion to be placed poolside. Now they have a shaded area for relaxing, dining, and reflecting on the joys of life. Features of this poolside pavilion include solid pressure treated posts, arched braces, 10" roof overhang, vinyl ceiling, 18" Carlisle vinyl copper cupola with golfer weathervane, and on-site construction by The Barn Yard. Plus of course lasting beauty and enjoyment!

This Grand Victorian single-car garage is located on a hill overlooking a lake. The customer uses it to store recreational equipment. If we didn't know better, we'd say this building was located out west, judging by the pine trees, lakefront vista, and rocky ground. The large double doors at the back of the building enable the customer to fully utilize the 34 feet of storage.

In keeping with our love for western design style, this custom home in Stafford CT features rustic barn board accents, timber framing in the gables, turkey tail peaks, rich wood-toned garage doors, and full interior post and beam framing.
