Timber Frame Raising May 2008;
16’ by 64’ Sheep Barn in Lakeville, CT.
Hemlock timber frame with Thompsons Water Seal Finish.

Twelve prize sheep, the owners desire for chickens, workshop and storage space along with restrictive zoning regulations that permitted only a replacement on the original footprint all conspired to drive the design of this barn. I designed the foundation and timber frame, cut all the joinery and then with the owners help and crew - erected the frame on the new foundation.

A photo of the original sheep barn. The new barn sits on the same footprint as the original due to the local zoning regulations.
