McQuarrie Timber Frame, South Rawdon, Nova Scotia

The photo at right shows the first bent being lifted up. This is a “zoomer”; you can click to view a high-resolution version and scroll around.

In the zoomer you can note the 2×10 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.

Another “zoomer” at left. 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.
