Video Description

Welcome to another Shelter Build! This project takes place right in our home state of Maine, where we get to work for a wonderful family transitioning from an Airstream into their new home. We were incredibly lucky to share their stunning view for a few days as the frame raising took place. Sit back, relax, and watch us work. Interested in learning how to timber frame?
