Hi all:
I'm working on a quote to restore and re-raise a barn frame and have a question on timber repair....
some of the posts(11x11) in the frame have hollow sections. I would like to repair these by placing sound wood into the hollows. I have ideas on how to proceed but would also like to contact those with more experience in this area. My main concern at this point is whether to repair a post with a hollow that is above the crossbeam mortice? The roof on the new building will be made of conventional trusses, so thrust is not an issue, but wind load will still be there. Thanks in advance,
-Mark in Ontario.
