We're just now starting phase 2 of an interesting interior finish work project for Tom and Beth Klemmer of Middlebury.
Tom is an accomplished woodworker in his own right, and apparently enjoys a challenge. Last year we installed a new slate floor with radiant heating in the Klemmer's family room as part of their plan to remodel the space in the Greene and Greene style of architecture. This style is known for its large, heavy woodwork and interesting joinery. These pictures show the cherry woodwork on the staircase with it's heavy newel posts and railings. Tom did all the railing panels himself (nicely done, Tom). He also did the false tendon work on the plank wall under the stairs. Our guys did the posts, treads and risers and flooring. In this phase, we will be redoing the loft area. We'll post updates as the work progresses.
We are excited to announce that Three Oaks is expanding to now
offer Conner Homes as an option to our customers. While we will continue to
offer all of our usual custom construction services, we believe that Connor
Homes will bring a distinctive advantage to our customers.
Their reproduction Colonial Homes are beautifully crafted with painstaking
attention to details and because much of the work is completed in their
millwork facility, duration of field construction should be significantly
reduced. This allows for a smoother, shorter building schedule.

started on your new home.

The guys at Three Oaks recently finished up an expansion
project at Mount Pleasant
Sugarworks located in Leicester. Andy and Donna Hutchison have been
having trouble working in the cramped sugarhouse with all the increased
production they've seen over the past few seasons. This renovation gives
them an additional 1,500 square feet of interior and exterior space for
storage and equipment. Their maple sugaring operation has been
providing first rate quality syrup since 1987. When they started, it was
just a small hobby set up. Now, with the help of Andy's dad, Galen, they're
making over 1,000 gallons of syrup per season! When Andy is not sugaring, he
might be marking timber lots in his forestry business, designing someone
else's sugarhouse, or tending to guests at their Bed and Breakfast. If
you are visiting in the area, consider staying at the Hutchison's.
