The use of the majority of the tree in all its beauty is environmentally and structually sound. If we think this is the way to build quality homes in the future then we need to make these homes more affordable for the average person. I now live in Virginia and would not give a plug nickel for the structually inferior stick build 2x4 exterior wall homes I see here. We can niche market timberframe homes in this economic down turn. Now is the time for solid marketing of a quality built smaller home on a two or better acre lot. This is what the market and the public in general will be wanting in the future.
