KEY QUOTES FROM EPISODE
Mike Pollari | Timberpeg
- “Timber frame homes can provide a beautiful aesthetic even in areas with heavy snow and wind loads.”
- “Ultimately, I think that, you know, an architect doesn’t want to create a situation where there’s going to be callbacks and issues with the house, but they have this vision of the home and how, you know, how they want it to look.”
- “So that really changes on each project. We do projects where we’re working directly with a builder who is creating a, maybe they’re doing a 7,000 square foot home in Texas for a client and we’re providing just the timber frame in the great room.”
