Don, the wall work or replacement was the post themselves, the first barn had newer oak post on one wall. I was wondering if it was the same oriented wall as the second barn, south and south. I saw, in the 2nd barn, the posts on one wall in very much need of fixing. The one under the repaired tie almost gone its whole length, rotten. Tim
Tim:
To clarify the questions of sides...they are different. Our first barn had the sawn posts on the NORTH side, whereas the 2nd (oldest) barn had the badly deteriorated post(s) --and replaced sheathing-- on the SOUTH.
That's neat info on your latest find-- almost a CG. I guess the true definitin of a CG doesn't really pertain to plate location as it does whether the ties bear directly over the posts.
Is that barn a common rafter roof or purlin? I've yet to see a CG that was not a purlin roof.
