What’s this? Old timbers

[sjvicker]

I’m doing some light remodeling and the house had some of these unique Timbers as floor supports. Any idea what the could have been from?

I’d guess they are from some timber framed pole barn but the mortise work (if that’s the correct word) makes me unsure

House is in Northern MI and was built some time in the 50s.

Possibly some timbers that have be recycled to the next project.

Looks like a mudsill from a stacked stone foundation.

They’re going to go on marketplace for free. They’re pretty rough in person

I can only assume you were being sarcastic with your "light remodelling" comment. There's no building left!

their former life was in a post & beam construction ( probably house) , all hand mortised . possibly pine and near clear at that

How else would you clean a crawl space?
