StreamLine Timberworks

While there is pounding, digging, sawing, pouring, and all kinds of things going on in Hardyville, there's a team working hard on the project in Richmond and Floyd, Virginia. We selected SLTW several months ago to be our timberframe supplier. They took our initial plans and through hours of design work they have developed a layout and design that will WOW those guys going up and down the river. We're really excited with their work and can hardly wait for the raising.

In this photo above in Richmond; Mark Adams, the"Sales Guy" and Isaac Fleming, the "Project Guy" look over plans with George, the "Check Guy".

In Floyd, Virginia; Jessie Parrish, the "Design Gal" and Steve Arthur, the "Design Guy" create the "Coastal" timber frame. It's going to be SUPER!

All the Comforts of a Cottage

August 7, 2007

Well, it arrived just in time. A "Trudy" porta potty.

This thing has a sink, a light, and everything else. Our HVAC expert and friend Lewis hooked up our 2.5 ton heat pump to the potty and man o man does it cool it down. Actually, it's a little over sized in the event we want to add a second floor.
