Yea Baby=====SWEET, G, when the underside of the rafter crosses the timber, is there a physical attachment? maybe a notch. G
Thats an interesting remodel going there, please show the after pics when its done :thumbsup:Oof. How long were those rafters? These were 23'; made for a long day. Thank god they weren't that pitch.
I don't want to hijack this thread; that building is gorgeous. :thumbsup:Interesting job there, Tinstaafl, what's going on?
Right now there are screw jacks on top of temporary posts. The logs are Yellow Cedar. They were down for five years before the work on them began so a great deal of shrinkage has already occurred. Some more is expected under load during the construction season, then that should be just about it. All seasonal movement after that.Very nice job.:thumbsup:
Is there height adjustment built into the porch posts so they can come down with the walls as they shrink?
If so do you have some photos of how that is engineered?
I love that look. :thumbup:
