Confirming your attendance for the visit via email is probably best. It's easier to navigate than the forum, which seems to get out of order at times.
Will, It would seem that a CG barn is unique in and of itself... otherwise folks would have chimed in in far greater numbers to help me when I first posted this thread. You and Housewright are the only folks to say you have seen this type of construction w/ any frequency. It seems it's just more common where you hail from. Tim Beal is still looking for an example up his way and said he has never built this type of building. And we have yet to hear from other timber enthusiasts saying "what's the big deal, I have these CG barns all over my town..."
Tim: An earlier meeting time is ok w/ me... I live in the next town, so no problem, but others may need time to travel.
Ken: We should have plenty to post following the visit. I will get you pics.
Will, Housewright: is an earlier time of say 10:00 a.m. workable for you guys, or would you like to stick to noontime?
Housewright, any other folks you know interested in attending? Looks like you, me, Will and Tim at the moment... still have 6 spots left...
