> Jan Paul Donelson is truly a gifted architect in designing beautiful log and timber frame homes.  His professional knowledge made all the difference in allowing us to construct the log and timber frame home of our dreams.  Jan was very easy to work with.  He listened carefully to all of our ideas and incorporated them into our unique home.
>      One of our favorite features is our round timber frame covered deck with  a rustic mountain laurel railing.  It also has an outdoor stone fireplace overlooking our pool.  It is a perfect spot for entertaining.
>      We would highly recommend him to design the home of your dreams.

The Hearth Room had some major structural issues binding up the glass sliding entries on both sides.
