That's interesting because we just built our home in western MA (not far from VT) and there was such a shortage of labor here that our GC couldn't do the framing. Instead, we had our design panelized by the incredible Bensonwood in New Hampshire. It's the future of building – every nail and square inch of wood pre-calculated by a company, resulting in zero waste. The walls panels with their windows pre-fitted came on trucks and were assembled by a crane in a few days. It was amazing. Demand seems very high in these parts, right now at least. But I suspect doing Bitcoin things in Texas might lead to a superior outcome. -Tom

Panelizing is really neat. I didn't know about Bensonwood.
My friend found that there was demand for framing, but not necessarily for timber framing -- and definitely not at a price point that made sense. But then he was feeling money pressure at the time because of a young family and maybe just needed to stick it out longer.
