We finished up hunting this morning as we harvested our limit and all wanted to go home early.

Here are some pictures of the barn where we stay every year.



This is the Tie Beam brace I spoke of earlier.
There is a bow in the top plate as a result of the roof pushing out. You can see where the half-dovetail has pulled out at both ends.
Not sure why they did this.



Here is where an addition was attached.



Here is the same brace in the newer part.
You can see that they never used the dovetail joint on this end.





There is no mid-span beam in this barn roof which is a slight Gambrel.
The lean-to addition was added in the mid. sixties.
