A completed frame

[ckprivette]

Got 'er done, y'all. Thanks to a Jim Rogers-led workshop my goats now have their very own timber frame barn. A big Thank you to Jim and all the guys who helped build and raise the frame.
(I tried to add pictures; couldn't figure it out.)

I got some pictures from Chris and Dan of the raising event weekend.
On Friday, we did some fit up of the walls, and plates to ensure that they would go together when up in the air:



 

 
Dan the retired fireman taking a selfie while we worked on the plate fitting up a brace. Thanks Dan.
Saturday, was a very misty day, until it rained hard on us, from the storms that did all the damage in KY.

Three of the five bents up:



 
All five bents up and the rear plate is on.


 

Chuck and Dan were the second story crew, and they did a great job setting the plates. Here Chuck is aligning the plate to the post tenon.


 
Setting the last section of the front plate while it was raining hard:


 
Here are the pictures of the finished frame after Chris, with his father and brother's help setting the rafters:


 

 

 



They did a great job. Now the roof can go on.
