I'll try not to bore you with my life story but anyone interested in my project might be curious about my background, or maybe not. Here goes. My Picture is my daughter and me while we did an eight day hike on the Appalachian Trail. That is a whole different story. I have more pictures on my google homepage . Here you will find my pictures of Hiking the Appalachian Trail for 8 days with my daughter, some aviation pictures of planes I have flown, some of the oil and acrylic paintings I have attempted along with some pictures of my land in Pine Mountain Georgia where I hope to assemble this barn some day.

I am currently living in Sarasota Fl, where I have lived approximatly 10 years with my Wife and Daughter. I am a pilot by profession and have some experience in construction and was once liscensed in the state of N.C. as a contractor and Home Inspector. I do want to make it perfectly clear, I do not know what I am doing, this is a learning process and I am only trying to show others who might be interested in timberframing that someone like me tried to tackle the same project and how I went about it. I would have preferred to have gone to school or taken courses and I still intend to do so. According to my searches on the internet there are several very good schools and I intend to attend one in the future when I can work it out. Although the only home I have contracted was in Georgia, it was not necessary to have a contractor liscense if you lived in the home.
Our home in Florida is in a typical neighborhood where the lots are about 1/3 to 1/2 of an acre and the neighborhood has many rules so this makes the logistics of this project even more difficult. I have always enjoyed working outside so living in this type of situation has caused me to have much pent up frustration. It has been our plan for a while to move back to Georgia or the Carolinas so we can have a yard to garden and also to enjoy the seasons again. While visiting in the Pine Mountain Georgia area and staying in a cabin we ran across a local resident nearby who had some land for sale so we purchased 4 acres and this pretty much started the project. Here is a pic of the land. Believe me, it looked nothing like this when we bought it. There was much work involved.
