Old School Post and Beam

[bacpacker]

Found a couple more pictures of the frame before the joists were laid in. The frame was so nice I almost didn't want to cover it. It stood like this for about a month while we were waiting for the SIPs and and tin for the roof to be delivered. I met a lot of neighbors, which was nice, as a result. Folks driving by would slow down, back up, pull in to the driveway and introduce themselves to take a look at the barn. Enjoy.

What is the name of the style of cut at the top of this picture where the bent joins at vertical post (can't recall the correct term for it)? Very nice detail in that.

Thanks for all the comments. This has been a long time goal in the planning and execution and its great to have found a place to share it with folks who have the same "obsession" (as my patient wife calls it).

Obsession? - I have NO idea what she is talking about!

I really like the fact that you kept an opening from the second floor looking down into the first - NICE. And who doesn't love that classic Post and Beam style.

Great job!

Real nice work you are doing! It's a LOT of work but well worth it, that kind of craftmanship doesn't go out of style.

UPDATES? I just seen some teaser pics in another thread of your new roof.

Fury, Any further updates on this wonderful old/new barn? Was following along, but got lost. Just wondering if you have any pics of the finished building?
Would like to know what the siding is on the new section? One pic shows it as sort of wavy? What's up with that?
Love post and beam construction, old or new!
