hey, thanks for the replies.
I've done a few jobs now and am beginning to get the hang of how much my timberframing costs. Growing slowly is my specialty. And the reality of working in my area is that I learn just as much about stick framing as timberframing anyway. Acutally, stick framing is pretty cool. The material is moveable by humans and easy to buy... I still get to figure out angles and structure and keep on learning... wink
