I look happy because I finally figured out how to successfully raise a king-post truss for an entrance gate to our timberland.
Dr. Dave Sullivan is an emeritus professor of business from Oregon State University (see http://business.oregonstate.edu/users/dave-sullivan). Being an emeritus professor is just a fancy way of saying I retired honorably.
Along with my wife, Barbara, we have purchased and restored a number of historic Albany Oregon homes. In 2004, we purchased 140 5th Avenue SE as a burned-out wreck and brought it back from the dead. You can see before-and-after pictures of that renovation at: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Zaeqv9qDKzJZ6z2H8.
In 2016, we won the 2016 Albany Historic Preservation Award for removing incompatible alterations and rehabilitating the house at 338 6th Avenue SE. You can see before-and-after pictures of that renovation at https://goo.gl/photos/eVWtYYd5wNTiznMj9.
My most recent project involves designing and building lookout towers. You can read about that at www.sandboxdesigns.org.
The picture at the top of this page shows the king-post trusses in the living room of our new timberland home.
This www.nhallen.net website was created with Google Sites.
I hope the N. H. Allen House will continue to have a website after we sell the home, so I will happily pass this website on to whoever buys the home from us.
The new owners will want to make changes to the site, and that will be really easy to do. If you can operate a standard word processor, then in less than an hour, I can teach you how to edit this website to revise text, add pictures or delete pages.
