Don't know if it's me, or the people I run into, but when I tell them that I timber frame, I am usually met by a blank stare, coupled with silence. That's followed by " Oh, you mean a log cabin?" Then I have to break out the "barn" analogy, usually they kinda "get it" then, and if they don't, I run away screaming.... So, E.H., consider yourself lucky, you get to bypass my first two steps. Good Luck my friend. Ron
