William Rockhill, owner and operator of Bear Creek Carpentry in Woodgate, will be featured on the Home and Garden Television (HGTV) show ‘Tiny House Hunters’ on Saturday, November 21st at 10:30 p.m.
‘The Wee Hoose’ built by the Rockhill family, measuring at 8-ft., 6-in. by 24-ft. will be one of the three houses featured on the show.
They filmed the show over five days this past summer.
Bear Creek Carpentry had been contacted by a woman from Alaska, who was looking to purchase her second tiny home.
“She and her three dogs were moving back to Buffalo to take care of her mother,” Rockhill said.
William started building tiny houses about twenty years ago.
He also taught his four children, Billy, Conner, Melissa and Michael carpentry. They are now all involved in the family business.
“We built little cabins for people. They started calling them tiny houses about ten years ago,” he said.
The houses average from$35,000 to $50,000.
Last year, Rockhill filmed a pilot for an Animal Planet series on Tiny House builders.
There has been a producer from the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) network that has been following around Bear Creek Carpentry for the past year filming a documentary on the company and the Tiny House Movement.
The Rockhills and Bear Creek Carpentry’s tiny houses were also featured in a Joe Connelly article that appeared in Adirondack Life’s September Home Edition.
