Gents,

I am 1/2 way across the state on another job right now. I'll endeavor to get your requested pics and additional measurements asap. I appreciate your input.

My original post did reference these two barns with their specific structural issues in mind but I am also trying to gather ideas in general about dealing with outward thrust when the joinery is already in place. Your posts thus far have given me some great ideas and have helped me expand the brainstorming that I do before getting down to the engineering.

Working alone, as I do in SW Michigan, it is wonderful to have this space to share ideas.

Thanks,

Shawn
