This customer asked us to restore and put back into service her traditional bank barn.  We did so, taking care to ensure that all repairs were made using appropriate materials and methods to match the existing work. 

Work included: repair of the forebay and doors with existing hinges, rebuilding the bridge doors with existing track & trolleys, residing the exterior, installing a 26-gauge galvanized metal roof, repairing and repointing the interior and exterior foundation surfaces throughout forebay wall, and repairing the timberframe throughout with traditional methods & materials.

We installed temporary cribbing to lift and support the summer beams and posts in the parlor level in preparation for pouring footers under the parlor posts.  Winches and hoisting equipment helped to square and plumb the building before installing and securing the replaced girts and braces.  We also installed temporary cribbing throughout to lift and support the posts while we performed the repairs and replacements to the posts, braces, and sills.  When the temporary supports are removed, the beautiful barn frame stands on its own once more.
