This past week we (my partner Chris and I) completed a second timber frame building. A 6' by 8' little playhouse of a shed. Well built, very strong little thing. It will serve someone a strong shed or playhouse for a child. This one went up much faster than the first one. A lot less figuring and more cutting the second time around. Check out the photos.
Here we have a double set of rafters up and we are prepping for purlins. Purlins, are the bracing that goes perpendicular to the rafter timbers usually on a timber frame or truss roof assembly. |
