11x12 timber frame

[Loren49]

This was my summer project - cut hemlock logs from the woodlot - sawed with a friends band saw - did most of mortise and tenon work in the garage - wife and I raised the 3 bents and joists - had a mini-barn raising to put 6x7 inch rafters and main 6"x6"x12ft timbers along with dovetailed purlins. Siding is 1 inch rough cut hemlock boards - first layer diagonal - second is vertical.

First try with photos - I'm a slow learner.

These photos show more of the construction. The entire building is mortise and tenon and pinned with 1" hardwood pegs, rafter purlins are dovetailed. The first floor is to house a few ewes(and hopefully 4 to 6 lambs come March) the second floor is for some hay storage. The doors in the last few photos allow access for the loader to do the cleaning. And at the end are Lucy, Stella (registered Katahdin hair sheep) and lambs Peanut, Minny and Moe (twins from last Spring) Actually just moved Lucy, Stella and Minny to new barn (hopefully bred) and now separated from WoJo the Ram.
