HI,
I'm new to the forum and am planning my first structure to be built this summer.
It will be a small (16x20) barn with no interior finish or insulation, clapboard siding, metal roof. Likely three bents if I can get a crane in there or find enough muscle.
I've been studying Steve Chappell's "A Timber Framer's Workshop". There's a lot of information in there but he doesn't get much beyond the frame, all his designs/examples have the rafters end at the walls. I would like 12-14" eaves. I'm GUESSING that extending the roof sheathing that far with out support won't work.
Suggestions? Also, suggestions for other good basic reference materials would be appreciated.
Thank,
Carl
