I didn't think we'd ever get to this point, but the wall-raising of our Timber Block home is just 15 days away, on June 21st. While I say "I didn't think we'd ever get to this point," in truth we've moved relatively quickly.

And of course, they are a natural fit for rustic homes, typically blending the architecture of the home with natural elements and the topography of the lot.
