I will be doing the work in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. I live in northeast WI, by Green Bay and the Fox Valley River metro area.

I've received information from timberframe companies from Iowa and Illinois, and some as far away as the east coast.

I think that this is something that can be handled via email because it is such a simple design. However I've found out that there is much more to building this than meets the eye.

There are no timber-frame builders where I live. But there are several log home builders in northern Wisconsin, and some of them have experiemce with timber-framing. But I don't think any of them have the know-how to check out the specs for my structure. -- Tim
