This are the pics of the last 2 days.
Gonna get more pics of the barn soon, and maybe some measurements.
And that axe picture is for you Don.

Barn. That's not a half lap, it's more like cut 18in of that 20in beam and put something on top. Everything is eaten by termites btw.
Hard kanna, needs some cooking. Didn't work.

Somebody said gang cutting? Look at the concentration of the boys
and my favourite shot till now
yesterday. There's a mistake there.
but not there
We are a bit on the short of time side, so from tomorrow we are using the skill saw to speed up the chiseling and cross cutting. And it doesn't even feel like cheating to be honest. Cut the shit out of those beams and get out of here.
I asked David, our visiting architect to measure the barn and make a drawing of it, maybe that can be the next life project.
Wanna ask something? just comment and I try to reply next time I get internet.
Don't you think those beams are just seated in shallow housings?
ReplyDeleteI think they are just sitting there. In any case, they are not moving, no boy. I take more pics today.

Would love to have you here Francois, but better save the money and come next year. Around the same time, just asked the owner for the place and said yes.
