Framing The Barn

Finally after the rains stopped and the footings were poured the framing began......



....and so did the snow.

Nine pressure treated 8 foot long 4 by 6 posts with 2 by 12 beams spanning 12 feet with SPF 2 by 8 caps

2 by 4 girts

2 by 6 joists

Carrage bolts attach the beams

Blocking in the joists, pretty standard stuff.

Ridge beam sistered up temporarily until the rafters are layed. 8/12 pitch with 2 by 8 rafters. Cutting the rafters takes some time. Use the first one as a template for all the rest. Get a rafters square.
