A Sustainable Post and Beam Home

From farm to table? More like from tree to home! This post and beam home build in Day, NY is the poster child of sustainability. 80% of the lumber being used to build this house was milled by us from local pine, most of which was logged from the property itself! Talk about minimal carbon footprint.

Here are some progress photos of the build thus far with @Split Spruce Custom Carpentry, LLC. Our favorite pic is of the saddle notch in the post of the ridge beam. Craftsmanship at its finest!

2021 National Construction Appreciation Week

We couldn’t operate our small business without the wit, hard work and great attitude our team puts into every project we do. Surround yourself with greatness and you’ll be great. Frank Agosta and Austin Bigec have been with us from the beginning, ripping shiplap, screwing roofing panels, framing walls, milling custom lumber orders, you name it. The word “skilled” is not lightly used around here, but we have an incredibly skilled and talented team that we APPRECIATE! We are so lucky to have Frank and Austin as part of our business, and our family.

Construction is not an easy trade. There are long days and aching muscles. Imagine using your brain for geometry and physics while also lifting a 10ft beam over your head? That’s why we are beyond grateful for our lead man (and my husband), Mark Burroughs. Mark’s determination, drive and friendly smile make our growing business flourish. He will give the shirt off his back to a stranger, and go the extra mile for our customers. Give these great men a good, strong handshake next time you see them.

Adding to a History of Sawmills in Edinburg, NY

Did you know that sawmills are part of Edinburg's (NY) 200+ year history? The original mills operated on steam engines and waterwheels that would power the saws. Imagine?!

We are very proud of our town's history and tickled by the fact that today our Norwood Portable Sawmill sits down the road from where these mills used to run. Thankfully gasoline and hydraulic systems have been invented since, making milling more efficient and productive .
