If I were to go running on my favorite trail on the west side of town and ask one of the homeowners, whose house abuts the natural area, to describe where they live, I am guessing they would first say Fort Collins, or maybe offer the name of their neighborhood, followed by “at the base of the foothills.” I am almost certain they would not tell me that they live in the “wildland urban interface.” Yet, that is exactly where they live....

The texture and character of reclaimed timber is virtually impossible to replicate. In most instances recycled or repurposed timber is already well weathered, and will maintain a vintage patina for some time. making it an excellent low maintenance choice. From a weather-tightness perspective however, recycled or reclaimed ...

Trees may have a lifespan, but wood is a renewable resource. Since trees are made of wood, is there truly an end to their useful lives?
