Upclose to a join in a New Energy Works timber frame


Events + Raisings

Raisings usually draw a crowd and offer a chance to witness the culmination of months of painstaking effort. Because of the significance of the event to the client, wherever possible we’ll accommodate requests for raisings on specific dates. We were honored when Nan and Bill Horton chose us to build a replacement for their home that burned down and celebrated with them at their 4th of July raising and hog roast. As soon as the last peg was driven in John Haines’ timber frame barn, his son’s wedding party streamed in, the band struck up and the dancing began.

We’re very proud of what we do and would love to show you our work. Drop us a line or call for directions and times.

June 8th

Slocum Open House
Aurora, NY

George and Priscilla Slocum have graciously invited our friends to tour their home nestled on the east side of Cayuga Lake. Highlights of the tour will include a four story lighthouse, a whole-house timber frame in reclaimed antique heart pine, a Rumford fireplace built with reclaimed barn foundation stones (some as long as 8 ft) and curved truss chords that will surely drop your jaw.

The Fitzgerald home in downtown Aurora (just minutes away from the Slocum house) has been added to the open house schedule as well.

Bristol Mountain
June 28th-29th Bristol Mountain Ski
Patrol Lodge Raising
Bristol, NY

We’ve teamed up with the ski patrol at Bristol Mountain for their new mountain top building. This community is 100 volunteers strong so we expect to have plenty of patrol power to raise the timber frame, enclose it in stressed skin, add windows, and install the roof. While 2,200 feet doesn’t beat our elevation record, we’ll enjoy knowing a NEW timber frame marks Bristol’s highest point.
