Hey folks! If anyone is on the fence about this project...Pull the trigger! You will not find a leadership team like you find on this project anywhere. I have had the privilege to work with a few of these guys and knowledge of the craft is an understatement. I worked at Tim's shop and it was great. He is incredibly knowledgeable in terms of the big picture of a timberframe and leaves no questions unanswered.
Beautiful country. Lake Raburn and the Angelina National Forest is just south of there and with a little research (or a msg to me) you could check out some old growth longleaf pine. Serious regrets about missing this one. There a really cool historic hotel in town. Starts with a F I think. Fontana maybe. I could be totally wrong about the hotel.
Anyway that's my 2 cents. I promise it's time and money well spent.
Oh, by the way if your a Willie Nelson fan you may have already heard of Nacogdoches. Y'all have fun.
