Really Awesome Construction Timbers -- If you like that kind of thing!
For all of our friends and family out there who are into carpentry, I wanted to show you where most of our framing money went for the garage/casita. In these pictures, you can see the big pieces of solid Douglas Fir that the framers are using to build the roof of the porch around the front room. With 6x6 posts and 6x10 beams, this must be the safest covered area in the Willows in an earthquake! It might be a little over engineered, but the big timbers will look really cool when the roof is finished. I think this is definitely a measure three or four times before cutting once situation, since I wouldn't want to mess up that 17 foot 6x10 beam!
