Could the placement of the girts in this particular barn have been this simple ? How big is the over hang ? Where is the soffit and its bed mould ? Was its seemingly low placement about nailbase for the trim ?
Hi Will,
The overhang/soffit of this barn is quite small: around 6". The roof pitch is also not that steep ~ guessing an 8/12 maximum. Probably not in keeping w/ the girt placement.
What you say about locating the 2' mark away from other joints to preserve their integrity makes sense and is helpful.
As far as looking for other 2' mark evidence, what about the interior posts? These are visible on all sides. As they are also tenoned into the tie beams, there may be 2' marks to see on these.
