Just took a great course (for the second time in 9 years) from the Heartwood School (heartwoodschool.com), with my
second son (first son the first time).
We built a two-story 24' x 28' craft shop in 4 days and raised on the fifth.
Highly recommended.
We also built a timber-frame small horse barn at our farm back in 2000 with some itinerant framer help (well, they did the bulk of the work, since they had the experience). Great time, with a 200-person barn raising, big get-together, bonfire, etc.
