NEW STYLE BARN RAISING
IN MORIN HEIGHTS

Volunteers from the community along with more volunteers from the 'Timberframers Guild' from as far away as New Hampshire and Ontario spent a long weekend raising the framework for a dramatic new home for Doug and Vivian Lukian on Sunset Hill.

Many months in the planning and preparing, this new structure will be a replacement for their previous log home destroyed by fire in 2002.

Doug Lukian is the proprietor of 'Lukian Structures', who specialize in designs, creating and restoring log and timberframe structures in the area.
