January 22 -- It is about 20 Degrees out and our crew has just started building the First Floor Platform of this 32x54 seaside timberframe home. The garage was constructed about two weeks ago and will be connected to the house with a breezeway. Here, our crew sets a steel I-Beam with our 95-ft boom crane. Check back for more photos as this project progresses!
