Earthtone Construction

Happy Earth Day. Plant a tree for your future self! I did 16 years ago and every October, I get to watch this beauty glow

Perfect evening yesterday at with . What a beautiful way to launch!

Seems like yesterday we took over this project from another builder. When we got there, the historic timber frame had already been reconstructed, so we missed out on that fun. But that’s when our work began. Lots of fussing with these old timbers, but it came out nice don’t you think?

Pivot door: We didn’t build this one in house, but I’ve built quite a few over the years. When they are unconventional like this one, a lot of care has to go into the structural part of the door.

For instance, having a flat and solid interior core is critical, but also making sure that whatever facing goes on one side is the same on the other in terms of thickness, dryness and grain. Problems start to arise with flat grain one side and vertical on the other. Additionally, make sure the door is sealed on all six sides before exposing to the elements.

This popped up on my photo memories today. Back in 2015 while building this home in rural Sonoma County, we took 3X8’s we had milled from downed redwoods and built this “folly” as the owner liked to call it. Why? Well it’s a folly, so we don’t need a reason

Our latest finished project, a beautiful modern and unique home. 🛠️🌳🏠
