Timber Framers Guild Forums General Discussion Why Would You Want To Do This For The Rest Of Your Life? Project

Hi everybody I already posted this in a topic looking for input, I got a response to help me with my paper which has been very helpful, that being said the more responses I get the more accurate and more informative my paper will be. I am currently a senior in high school, and my senior project is on timber framing. It is a paper/presentation type project, my topic is "Why timber framing over a conventional stick built structure?" i would love it if people would respond to this, telling me why they love timber framing, and why they choose to do it over conventional building?
Please do not limit responses to that one question, please feel free to elaborate on anything you would like.

Thank you so much.
