A little over 5 years ago (man time is really moving along) I started a thread on my timber frame home build.

Now it's time to start our next major project and thought I would try to share as I did with the last one. As some of you who followed my home build saw my main business is pyrotechnics. What I didn't mention was that part of our building for our pyro business is also used as a rental hall for parties and wedding receptions. The home build got my wheels turning about opening another rental facility as a high end timber frame venue. What I quickly realized is that things were going to be much more expensive than I was comfortable with and we already had the perfect location and building for what we wanted to do. Instead of a brand new facility we have decided to remodel ours.
This project should be interesting in that we are doing things a bit backwards. Typically you would stand the timber frame then enclose it with sips or traditional framing. Since we are remodeling an existing building we are going to timber frame an already enclosed envelope. Another part of our remodel will be building an outdoor wedding area for wedding ceremonies. Construction of our outdoor area has already begun. Pics and updates to come shortly to bring everyone up to speed. Our remodel of our current facility and transformation into a timber frame venue will start after our last scheduled wedding reception on November 11th.
