1st visit, 1st view of the barn
|
On the left the cow shed which is the second part of the project
|
The stucture of the barn was very fragile, each wall had moved from 1 foot to 3 feet out.
|
At the back of the Barn was an office built in the 90`s which we demolished and rebuilt
|
View from the front, the cow shed and the barn

In the middle the principal rafter with the collar

After a week or two the customer decided instead of hiring an outside loo he wanted us to build one which was a very good idea, economic and cheaper.
|
 |
We started by taking down the roof to repair the plate
|
 |
 |
Nice green Oak 8×8
|
In the mean time we worked on the sole plate to bring the barn back on her feet, and build a new supporting wall underneath (all re-enforced)
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
The discovery of every corner was a challenge
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
A jowl post with a damaged plate
|
 |
 |
A mean broken plate by the scarf joint
|
All along the plate and both sides we found some broken parts
|
 |
 |
Bit by bit we lifted the Barn all around to build the new supporting wall
|
 |
4 feet down 1200mm, that was 1200x 600 re-enforced concrete
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
The scalfolding was inside out to support the Barn when we was working on it and to give us a protection called a crash deck.
