post-and-beam post


"Why not use conventional framing?" my sister asked me yesterday, when I told her I had finally narrowed my choices to three post-and-beam companies. Well, there is sturdiness, for one thing, given the winds. And then there are the speed and getting-people-to-show-up factors on the island. Unlike some, I'm not a big fan of the look of post and beam (Great Room? don't make me gag), but I'll figure something out.
The Architect gently explained to me a couple weeks ago that I can't afford her and recommended I use one of the in-house designers at the timber frame companies instead. I am talking to one of them who claims to be able to produce modified plans to my specs for $5000 in a week. Another company quoted me $1.75 a square foot (or $3136) for plans to be deducted from the final cost of a shell of approximately $75 a square foot, or $134,400. Another sells similar structures that top out at $58,000, erected. Go figure. Still, if I want to make the August zoning board hearing, I might better have this guy draw up the plans pronto.

You could ask Brad. He has the credentials. I mean, Us Magazine refers to him this week as "the architecturally minded actor", who "completely destroyed the [original home], and is starting over." And he'd give you a break. He, like, so doesn't need the money! So let me know. I'll start the pillow talk.
Boy, are you lucky he didn't have to bust up the New York apartment looking for the dead body. Because he can do it.

No, you certainly don't need a great room. All you need is a great kitchen table, a great bathtub and a great bed. Oh, and an outdoor shower.

All this talk, and no action! Is Dennis back from England yet? You could have had a really great tub in the bag, but no! You could have bought the Englebert Humperdink tub at that sale in the Poconos. Your brother can help you make a kitchen table. Maybe instead of a Great Room you could have, like, a new architectural trend. Like the Eat-In Bedroom. For those of us who don't, like, smoke anymore.

One of those college dorm refrigerators in the master suite?

Yes. Preferably, complete with college-boy toy types. It is oh-so socially acceptable right now for older women to have young mates. As we all know, sex is a very good substitute addiction. Ahem. Or should I say, Amen. The Magnet, uber-alles!! But remember...need I say it? Brad is mine.
