Owners have 1.08 shares of Spring Creek Water Company irrigation water and lease 2 additional shares of water from Providence City.

A hallmark of timber frame* (TF) houses is the use of traditional, mortise-and-tenon craftsmanship (interlocking wood joints secured with wooden pegs). These allwood connections not only create unique aesthetic appeal, but they also result in exceptional longevity, strength against seismic activity, high storm durability, lower insurance rates, and lower long-term maintenance costs relative to traditional stick frame (SF) houses. TF homes are also typically much more energy efficient than SF homes because they often use, as ours does, structural insulated panels (SIPs) in the walls, which are less ‘leaky’ than SF homes. Our monthly electric and gas bills were much lower than the average for similar sized homes in Providence.
*Note that TF houses are not the same as post-and-beam (PB) houses. They both use heavy timbers to create open spaces, but PB houses use simpler, weaker connections (metal plates, bolts, and brackets).
