Granite countertops are a popular choice for the kitchen in your timber frame home. You may or may not have heard about granite countertops causing cancer by emitting radon. This is true in some cases, but, like many other things in the world, there are good choices and bad choices, we simply need to do our research and choose wisely. See an article published in the New York Times on this subject.

Well, Timberpeg knows you are unique, and we know you and your family have individual needs when it comes to a new home or addition. That is why we have done a little exercise in flexibility. We've taken four of our most popular homes and re-worked the floor plans to meet the needs of new clients

Volunteers have begun installing the oak kitchen cabinets on freshly painted yellow walls. The family has opted for shades of yellow in the common areas and blue and green for the children's rooms. The date for move-in is tentatively set for late February. If you would like to volunteer your time to help with the final phases of painting and clean up, please visit the Upper Valley Habitat for

With the exterior of the home 99% finished, the crew can now focus their attention to the interior of the home (and just in time for the cold weather.) The interior rooms have been framed and are being partitioned with drywall. The drywall is largely finished on the second floor. The only remaining exterior projects will be the entry steps on the front and side entrances.

Timberpeg cut a frame to fit his specifications and needs based on his design. Ryan traveled to Timberpeg manufacturing and picked up the frame and

The house is really beginning to come alive! Painting has begun and a very traditional "barn red" color was chosen. A second coat was being applied to the front side of the house but the siding is still not completely up on the entry side and back of the home. We are excited at how far along the home has come since we will be holding an open house on Sunday, October 5 from 11:00am-4:00pm.

By Scott Stroud www.BuilderRadio.com I should have bought stock in Google when it was first released. I knew it then, but I didn’t act. I was scared off by the nay -sayers in the media. I hesitated, and the ground floor opportunity didn’t wait. Today, Google’s stock is up 800% from its initial price. Today, the opportunity to build a new home is similar to Google’s initial stock offering – an

Marie and her daughter Lisa and son Niko proudly stand in front of their new home. In just a few months it went from an empty piece of land to an almost complete home. For the past couple of weeks the volunteers have been priming and putting up the siding of the home. The front and the sides of the home have been fully sided and the back of the house is about halfway finished.

Jonathan Vincent’s observations about “Green Building” are “right on”. Another aspect of doing our part to minimize our impact on the earth’s resources is to maximize the efficiency of the use of the volume within the structure. More and more folks are backing away from wasteful spaces such as fancy foyers that never get used (everyone comes in the “back door”) and those huge vaulted spaces.

Since the home is only being worked on Tuesday afternoons and Saturdays, the progress has slowed down. The humidity and direct sunlight have also made the roofing a little slower than usual. The shingles began going up on the roof July 8 and we took this photo July 15. They had made about the same amount of progress on the opposite side of the roof at this time.

Everyone is interested in building a “green” house, but what that means will vary depending upon the owner’s goals. In general, a green house will be one that is designed to use fewer non-renewable resources, and to conserve land, water and energy. The best way to do this is to limit the footprint and size of the building. The reason is simple physics: a smaller house uses less material, and

This extremely energetic and fun group of college-aged students came out to help begin roofing the home on Wednesday, June 25. They represent the Northern US Route for "Bike & Build," a not-for-profit organization that raises funds for affordable housing projects nationwide. These students will spend their entire summer pedaling cross country and helping to build affordable homes along the way.

Foard Panel arrived on Thursday, June 19 to begin installing the SIPs. They had the walls up by the end of the day Thursday. And were hoping to finish Friday. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate, as it rarely does, and they were only able to install the back side of the roof. The rain came again on Monday and the crew was finally able to finish up installing the SIPs by early afternoon,

Homeowner, Brian Sanville, (red shirt in both photos) visited the Timberpeg shop to learn about how we manufacture our homes. He had the chance to meet our manufacturing staff and see the Hundegger cut part of the frame for his home. We are all very excited here at Timberpeg to be working on this project. It is the first timber frame Habitat-for-Humanity home in the Upper Valley.
