Yet Another Benefit of Tall Ceilings

This is an Appalachian-style mountain chalet in Virginia with a hybrid timber framed roof. The beams are Select & Btr. Douglas Fir, and the roof is a ridge and rafter timber roof with primary purlins (not pictured). The fireplace is a woodstove insert, and the flue is wrapped in copper. You always wanted a 24' tall Christmas tree, right?
