Who I am

My name is David Lyman, C.E.O. owner and hands-on builder.I am the first to hold the statute of Professional Artisan in the Province of Quebec ,Canada and helped to write the criteria for new membership ,which is a Globally recognized License. With 45 years of experience in repairing Ancestral homes and Timber Frame barns in Pontiac County and surrounding area,which once had the largest concentration of Hand- hewn Dovetail Log homes in the world. I Capitalized on understanding the weak points of Architectural design that caused premature rotting of outer Log walls and failure of roof systems. I have developed innovative , lightweight Cape Cod Timber Frame structures with hidden hardware for strategic pressure points making my structures “Bullet Proof” against extreme Canadian winters.

I remember working with him on weekends, evenings and summer holidays, salvaging lumber and turn of the century logs re-sawing and re-building new structures. Although this was not my Father`s main stay, but certainly it was something he enjoyed doing. Therefore I learned to pull nails and stack lumber at very young age and helped him build 2 houses, cottage, garage and several other buildings.

I traveled out West in 1978 and worked for different Construction companies as a Carpenter, when I heard of a course that was being given in Log Home construction in Prince George B.C at the College of New Caledonia, I took the course and found my Life`s Passion.
