We finally got our building permit this week, after about two years of civil engineering, dealing with the local Conservation Commission, designing the house, and all the rest that it takes to build a custom timber frame home in Massachusetts. The "Rivers Act" essentially grants control of over half my property to the conservation folks in this state, which was a real pain-in-the-@$$. Oh well; we're past all of that now.  We hope to hear from the bank in the next week so that we can begin construction.

Here's a view of our frame looking at the right front corner.
