Barn Lean to

We needed a place to store timbers out of the rain so we added a "lean to" to the barn. Larry and Gary helped a lot, as ususal. We cut down a 20' cedar tree that had been damaged by the electric compay and the ice storm, then we cut off one side with the chain saw. We cut mortises in it, then tenons on the tops of two cedar posts. Then we put it up and Gary drove the pegs in the holes to keep it all together. Larry spent the good part of a day cutting rafter pockets in the beam. It feels good to sit under it, as the low roofline makes you feel connected to it. Think we'll have to have a low roof porch on the house.
