Comment on Do we really need such big houses? Timber frame homes demonstrate the beauty of the small house by Bernie Ravenelle

Hi,
I enjoyed reading your articles about the many facets of timber frame homes and with interest about your small timber frame homes. My thoughts as I approach retirement, are that I’m looking for a smaller home 1300 sq ft or less, with a hillside or walkout basement that would allow for optional finished space along with a two car garage. I would want the first floor to be handicap accessible and have a bedroom and full bathroom on the first floor.

Any information, thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bernie

Ernie is one of the finest human beings I have ever met. I just can’t describe how generous and just a gem of a person he is. He’s one of those people who will be truly missed when he’s gone.

Yes, Ernie is the best. Thanks to my timberframer, I have met Ernie and now frequent tript to his place to get “custom milled” wood. He delivers too, like when we built a Hemlock retainer wall. Ernie sawed the 6 x6: wood and delivered it. He is a cheerful, knowledgeable gem of a man to deal with. So glad I know him!

Comment on Boosting Energy Efficiency: Time for Net Zero Timber Frame Homes in the Adirondacks? by Donna Trautwein Welch

We are in the planning stage of building a year around home on our tree farm in Johnsburg, NY. Currently we have a small cabin (16×20) on the property that is powered by a small PV system, 1.25 kw. We probably can’t be grid tied with either the cabin or our new home, because National Grid has given us an approximate cost of $40,000 to bring electricity in on our road, even though the first half mile is a town road.

We are very interested in exploring building a smaller timber frame house of approximately 2000 square feet that meets net zero standards and is not grid tied.
