Thought you might find this interesting, here is a photo from some time ago, taken in the Emmental region at the completion of the frame of a new farmhouse. This is the modern half-timbered style that replaced older methods in the 19th century (sort of like the Swiss equivalent of stick framing in that it plowed over all of the regional framing methods, but it is still timber framing)



I thought this was an interesting picture worth sharing
