A well-crafted timber frame completely closed to the weather with stress-skin panels can be a tremendous head start in an owner participation project. It should be emphasized that all interior partitions/walls are not load bearing. The placement or removal of walls will not affect the structural integrity of the frame. Door and window openings will also not effect the integrity of the frame. Many of our clients have successfully installed windows and doors, put on siding and trim and done interior finish work.
