Day 65: Added support


Work on the northwest corner continues. In order to tie the old to the new a steel bracket was put into place to make sure the two will hold together. If the materials were both new the two pieces of timber could have been pinned with wooden dowels as the original timbers were connected.  


Support Bracket

The boards on the barn were falling off as the hole in the photo above will attest to. A lift was brought in so the workers can lean in and renail the boards.

Lift used to secure siding.
