New barn

[StoneHeartFarm]

Cowboydoc,

Mighty fine looking barn! Those rafters over the horse stalls look kinda heavy. Is that a wide span or am I missing something?

SHF,
I thought that myself but that's what the plans called for so that's the way that I did it.

Cowboydoc,

Not to worry. You can't go wrong overbuilding. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif It occurs to me that those big old houses you see were all built with rough cut lumber and most of them have lasted a hundred years and will probably be here a hundred years from now. The new stuff with milled 2x4's--well, the jury's still out.

Much better to build a little heavier and not have to worry. That barn should last you a long time. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

The barn or the head?
It is an axial "slice" the equivalent of about 5mm through the middle of someones head. I removed the text to protect the innocent!/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Richard,

Do you mind my asking how much you have in the new barn to date? Where did you get the plans?

Thanks,

Eric
