Duke Energy Nanatahal Area---Feb. 1, 2010

I received an email from Robin Jenkins with a statement by Fred Alexander regarding the storm outages.

1.The Situation. More than 900 additional people are in Duke Energy’s Nantahala Area today to help with power restoration. As of 10:30 a.m., about 9800 customers remain without power, down from a high of 36,408 recorded Saturday afternoon.

While yesterday was a day of significant progress, much more work remains. Restoration for customers with more extensive damage to their lines or in more remote and inaccessible locations could be as late as 11 p.m. Tuesday. However, the overwhelming majority will be on sooner than that.

Restoration work will continue overnight and will increase significantly in daylight.

Octagonal WALNUT Pegs

In additional to the octagonal locust pegs Cabin Creek Timber Frames has milled and used for years - we now offer our clients an option- octagonal pegs milled of WALNUT!!!  They offer a nice contrast to the light hued woods of Eastern White Pine, Cypress and others. We have had many clients who used them in their handcrafted furniture. Interested? Give us a call at 877-369-5899 or 828-369-5899 for more information. Thanks for your interest.

Octagonal LOCUST Pegs

We employ octagonal locust pegs in our timber frame homes and other buildings. Joe Bell and others here at Cabin Creek Timber Frames believe they have a little more grab than round pegs. We furnish them to timber framers and others around the continental United States for use in restoration of timber frames and new timber frame construction.
For more information about our pegs please give us a call at 877-369-5899 or 828-369-5899. Thanks for your interest.

Planning - Making your home a Great Home, Refreshment Station

Refreshment Stations, Not always a 'bar.'
      A refreshment station in or near your great room with a small refrigerator, ice maker makes getting a drink or snack so much easier. Great for family gatherings - and while it doesn't always eliminate visitors in the kitchen. It can eliminate some of the foot traffic.

Planning - Making your home a Great Home

As you plan your space think about all the activities that will take place there: card playing, reading, movie watching, love to entertain?
