Carriage barn, Shelburne VT
Rough shape.
|
The settling of a rotten post foot caused quite a sag in the plate.
|
This barn was packed to gills when we had first seen it.
|
The middle tie beam of the barn had fractured mid-span.
|
The deflection of the plate was rather dramatic.
|

 |
Seth scribes and original brace to fit the new lintel.
|
The new center post and lintel in place.
|
We used half dovetail through tennons to help anchor the new sills in place and keep the stub tennons on the post feet intact.
|
A drawing of the roof system was found scratched into a girt timber.
|
Detail of the deflection and fracture of the center tie beam.
|
The new sill system, center post and lintel in place with an additional lintel for the main floor girt.
|
The beech lintel supports the scarf joint and the plate.
|
The attached shed had settled by over eight inches leaving a considerable gap between its roof and the barn wall.
|
Barn is ready to go.
