We are working on a new home project in central NH, on top of a hill with great views! The house is built with structural insulated panels, and will be very energy efficient when complete. The first few pictures show the house with the first walls standing.
First floor walls standing.
The wall panels are made in a factory and trucked to the site, where our team of expert carpenters assemble them and erect the shell of the house.

After we have the first walls up, we need to build the internal structure. This house is a hybrid of sorts, because it combines conventional framing and post and beam style framing. The second floor will be built using large solid timbers and beveled pine planking, which will give it a traditional timbeframe look. This is combined with conventional 2x and engineered lumber to achieve open spaces, but at a lower cost than a full timberframe.
Second floor beams
Beveled plank flooring is laid over the beams.

The finished floor/ceiling looks great!
