We used in-house oak, maple, and ash hardwood to build five 10' long queen-post sections. Includes I-Beam and pulley, lean-to, hinged and sliding door, white pine sidings, clear roof cap

Same geometry as our previous barn, just one 10' section shorter. Includes enclosed warm room with woodstove, staircase to an upper level, I-Beam and pulley, 110v and 220v and lights, cement floor, roller and sliding door, white pine sidings, glass ceiling window

Determine best truss geometry based on lumber type and customer requirements. Estimate amount of timber required.

We sustainably harvest the timber on our land or from a private landowner's property, just enough for what we need. Using a crane and trailer, we deliver the timber to our log yard in Gregory MI to be stacked and covered.

Using a front-end loader, logs are maneuvered to our sawmill. Each one is analyzed for optimum dimensions, and then cut into the appropriate sizes. Boards and beams are stacked and covered to air dry, which can take about a year. 

Estimate and purchase cement, gravel, screws, bolts, and nuts. Fabricate and paint metal brackets. Determine type of permits necessary for specific area and applications.

Level foundation, determine location of footings, then dig footings with hydraulic auger and forklift. Pour the concrete, insert anchor plate and bolts, then level using a survey tripod. 

Strategize construction site layout and offload lumber. Assemble bent on the trailer, cutting ends to correct geometry and dimensions. Install bracket supports. Hoist bents with crane. Brace with loose lumber. Connect to anchor plate. Install eave beams, then corner braces and purlins.

Attach catch board to keep roof panels straight. Raise panels up with forklift and push into catch, then put in metal roofing screws. Install edge flashing. 

Install white pine siding and doors. Pour concrete pad. Clean up construction site.
