Big Creek

This was an interesting project we did for a builder in Blue Ridge. Smaller cabin home, lots of rustic details and roughsawn wood. Our crews are primarily framing crews but we've been doing all the exterior work for this builder and the interior flooring, paneling and trim as well.

I wish I'd gotten a better shot of this, it's(to me at least) one of the most interesting details in the house. It's the intersection of the 6/12 kitchen.dining ceiling with the 10/12 vault over the great room. The 4x10 bastard valley is supported on a 6x12 beam at the bottom and carried with lag bolts off a 4x12 shop-built truss at the upper end. There's a 2' difference in wall heights so we couldn't simply run the valley to the back wall and we really didn't want a long interior wall to support it that would interfere with the flow at the floor level. So we stuck a 6x12 on top of the wall and landed the valley on that. It really opens up both rooms.
