Update on Our Post and Beam Farmhouse: THE PROCTOR

When we last saw this post and beam farmhouse being built in Dunstable, MA, the home moved out of the drafting software stage and was becoming a reality. New England winter storms were raging, but building was occurring. Now we have photos of progress over the past month. It’s really quite amazing, both inside and out. Take a look!

Post and Beam Farmhouse Exterior

In these photos you’ll see the siding is installed, the fireplace chimney becomes enclosed, and the metal roof goes on. Well done!

First job: get the chimney enclosed.

With the chimney encased, the cedar siding goes on.

Once the siding is on, it’s time for the metal roof.

The metal roof goes up quickly!

The roof is now on the main part of the farmhouse; on to the roof of the ell.

Post and Beam Farmhouse Interior

In the meantime, the interior of the home is not standing still. The home is being prepped for fireplaces, walls, and now has a real set of stairs (hauling tools up and down those ladders get tiring after a while).

The beginnings of what will become a beautiful fireplace.

It is a very exciting day for everyone when the “real” stairs finally go in!

Open two-level spaces will be located at the top of the stairs, allowing light to stream throughout the house.

The wall board will be going up any day now.

Be sure to check back soon as we follow this Yankee Barn Homes farmhouse, The Proctor, through to completion.
