Video diary: Building a Waterfront Timberframe Home

In February 2010 Chris Robinson began the process of designing a timberframe home to be built on one of our waterfront properties. In this video series Chris assembles his design and construction team and reports on the key elements of the design-build process. He records his interaction with Guysborough County officials concerning environmental assessments and building permits. He talks to a local surveyor about producing plot plans and foundation surveys required for mortgage financing.

Chris is an award winning student at the Nova Scotia Community College in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. At graduation Chris will receive his diploma in Heritage Carpentry.
