Timber Framing? Man, if that's solid sawn big stuff, it would not be hard to go $70k over...Glulams, a little more difficult, but the numbers you're throwin' around, i just bet they are using solid sawn or a super duper architectual grade for glulams...
Man, shoot some pics and throw them up on this site!!!! Timber framing and rock work gets me going!! My dream is to sometime own a timber framed deal up in the mountains as a second home...
