Zoomers!
Zoomers are high-resolution pictures that we present full size so that you can see details up close. Any photo with a red border in our gallery is a zoomer. Click on it, and a new window will open with the high-res picture. In some browsers, you may need to click on the picture again, or on an enlarge-picture icon that appears on the bottom right-hand corner. Once in the high-res version, you can zoom around using your scrollbars. Close the window to return here.

McQuarrie timber frame. Left: First bent being lifted up.

In the zoomer you can note the 2x10 temporary "strongbacks & clamps" The rafter/post connection is supported "just in case". The bent will never encounter this type of load when it is in place.


Right: Here we are tying the last bent to connecting girts, top plates, and braces.

In the zoomer, you can see a spike in a brace peg hole, which allows us to make adjustments without letting the brace fall out.


Left: from the Greenwich Prow raising in Gabarus, Cape Breton.

In the zoomer you can see:

  • top center - principal truss flying in
  • left center - principal purlins, ready for truss, temporarily supported by 2x4 "dead men"
  • right center - view of dormer in completed bay
  • right bottom - Forrest and Jody scrambling up to help install the truss, after rigging and sending it up with the crane.
