As long as I can remember, I've wanted to live on a lake. Eventually, I moved to Western New York, home of the Finger Lakes. I spent a few years driving among, between and around them then, in January of 1998, I purchased a little cottage on a half-acre on Seneca's west shore. Since then life has taken many unforseen turns, one of which gave me the opportunity to purchase the adjacent cottage. Now that I had a reasonable sized lot, in 2003 I began the project to turn 2 seasonal cottages into one permanent residence. Some of the many interesting features of this project involve moving my original cottage to a new location and making the decision to craft a Timber Framed home full of wood, stone, and metal.
