Day 63: Fixing the bad corner

Well it was mentioned some time ago, but the fourth corner, the northwest , had some real issues. The corner was so badly rotted that part of the corner post didn't exist any more. Below you see the cut away of the timber near the base. It's amazing that the corner still stood. That's a testament to how well the barn was crafted.

Well, the corner must be fixed. a new timber is put in place so once again the corner can carry its share of the weight.
