The man who is most likely to ruin the place he loves is exactly the man who loves it with a reason. The man who will improve the place is the man who loves it without a reason. — GK Chesterton Dear friends, In May I announced I was going to timber frame a 12x16 barn, though I did not know how to timber frame, or have much in the way of carpentry experience at all. I owned a circular saw, but before now had mostly used it for brush removal (it performs well at this). I called it the Goose Palace, because it was to be a magnificent home for birds. It is now almost complete.
