Hello all,
I would love to see pictures of some timber frame homes that you all have built. Specifically normal sized homes that the average person would live in. Every time I pinterest or google "Timber frame homes" all I get are 4-5k square foot homes with super intricate designs. They are definitely beautiful but I personally enjoy seeing a normal design and size that I could actually see myself building one day. It just gets me more intrigued. Would love photos of your builds or resources that have what I'm looking for.
Thanks!

Normal size is about all I build although I have done a few big barns.

Beautiful! What's the dimensions if you don't mind me asking?

Just out of curiosity, how do you run HVAC, Water, Electrical, etc when you build your homes on a solid pad? That's a question I've pondered quite frequently.
I've fantasized lately about building a small or average size house but doing a really unique frame with lots of found curves and rounds, including arched doorways, and tunnel like hallway, and maybe a hidden room or hidden passages. There's really nothing to stop me from design such a home and cutting the frame after I build my own house. It does help though to know where it's going in case you need to somewhat tailor it to the site.

You have to put conduit and plumbing pipes in before the pad is poured. Ductwork I guess would have to be in the overhead.
