For now just a wood landing and stairs is planned. This would be the door leading to an attached breezeway and garage if we ever add one in the future. We had an attached garage in the initial plans before it was axed in budget cuts.

Beautiful. Where are the gutters?
I'm hoping they are going on shortly. I've had two different painters back out on painting my soffits so far. Another scheduled this weekend but it looks like rain. I'm probably going to have to tackle the paint myself, just been too busy trying to wrap up the inside.

I feel your pain. We are almost finished with our home and its tough work no doubt. We were able to use the timber we removed from the land on a lot of the build (although not timber framed). It will be all worth it when you get to move in! good luck!

I do have some photos of it posted in my pond thread (we are building a 1 acre pond behind it). There is certainly something special about big timbers.

It's been awhile since I posted any updates. I thought I'd share some pics from the current project I've been working on the last few days as well.
House updates
Fascia is painted and gutters are now installed. The only thing left on the outside of the house is a set of steps and a small deck outside of the master bedroom. I've been able to finish all of the door and window trim. The only thing left on the inside is my base trim. Appraisal is scheduled and we should be closing next month.
Current project
We needed a door for the master bedroom separating the vanities from the toilet and shower area. We planned to do a sliding barn style door for this area. I decided to make the door out of the timbers I salvaged from the old barn shown earlier in this thread. Here's a few pics of the door build.
Time to hit the lumber pile. Here's a pile of some of the timbers I had left before starting the door project. The wood is mostly oak and is in surprisingly good shape just under the surface.
Timbers ripped and run through the planer. I tried to clean them up and still leave some of the character of the old timbers behind including some of the pockets and joinery marks. Some of the hidden nails made it rough on the planer blades.
I used a router to run a tongue and groove on the planks. Same issue with nails here. I probably ruined my t&g bit on these planks.
Picture of the assembled door.
Assembled door with a coat of clear polyurethane.
Now I'm waiting for my track hardware to come in so I can get the door hung. I'll post some updated pics when it installed.
