Well if you find it so hard to resist, you'll just have to come to Indiana next month!
We're building this barn (This, Stöckli) And it will have the Liegender Dachstuhl in it.
I'd like to see the examples in PA, with information on just who built them.
It varies a lot with region, a German approach is different -people accomplish different things with it, for example the double pitch roof of the Emmental, compared with the slightly smaller and single pitched roofs of my own Gürbetal.
The barn I designed started out as an Emmental style, but I had to go back to my roots and now it is more of a Gürbetal style.
I realize that means very little to most of you, not being familiar with the geography of the Canton of Bern (where, by the way, all the rivers flow North)
