Hi Rooster,

That is distressing news but at the same time informative. I would have thought that a timber frame left standing unsheathed would not have been very vulnerable to windthrow.

It should be possible to fit new "free" tenons to damaged beam ends especially if this is a square rule frame with fully housed joints.

This project might well now form a timber building conservation challenge rather than just accepting that the building is now fit only for salvage materials.

Some pictures would be helpful to be able to offer a more informed opinion.

Regards

Ken Hume


Looking back to see the way ahead !
