" Well this is going to be quick -- you guys and I want to slow you down so that we can understand the process. You've already gotten started -- tell us what we've got here sure we've taken the delivery of -- beams this morning. Yeah where first step is to correct our vertical posts yet we've got an inset on the -- and -- structured. Due to the outside structural. System what is the -- span we held then chalk lines. At five inches. Five inches in from the edge of the sill is dubious dressed in attacked right so let all the posts were holding our timber frame in that distance candidates squared up the outside and that. Determines the outside base of our hosts yet the poster toenail than at the bottom of the -- Temporarily hold them in place and and we have some temporary cross bracing just to level those posts and they're plumb line and this is not pressure treated lumber you don't put any additional preservative on the bottom but you are setting it on top of -- right. Plates the the timber frame is totally held for the interior of the structures so there's really no ground contact or any exposure to the elements. As -- pressure treated sill is necessary on the concrete on -- on the exterior only let's talk about the timber is I mean do we still have. Large stands of lumber city here in New England where this stuff comes from. Now we we get our native eastern white pine. Mostly cold -- surplus lots here in Massachusetts. And that eastern white pine we repetitively use because it is that is the most. Probably widely used and available source. Most of the timber and the trees are fell from town lots that are available every so often forbid. And the local lumber companies come and and they'll cut the trees and deep -- them that they're facility. This particular timber that we're using today and Andrea Barnes of the structure. It's a rough sawn eastern white pine and it hasn't been killed -- it just comes out of the mission out of the out -- illustrate to the site. What's the first thing afternoon here OK the first thing we're doing is all of our timber of is it's backed out full dimension and -- rough wind. So we need to square up the bottoms and the tops of each post and plate. So as we have and meter twelve foot long and number. It comes in a little bit oversized so what we do is re squared off you know -- it'll be my parents. Rise and then what we do is lead -- squared off on the bottom on the top so we create the length that we desire now in the in the olden days I noticed you've got these saws over here. This is how they would actually be. Cutting on this stock right beyond and here's where I think we've created a big time saving in the industry these are two mint sauce I guess maybe this was a one man -- doubt in you've you've probably guilty is that as a combination when a big one and I and then -- got the the romance on -- two minutes and don't use these today they're pretty much just held up -- antique source and that's today's beam cutting equipment is that much more intricate well you've got something over and it looks like a combination of a chain -- and a and a enhance our. Right that's correct bunea -- draft. This particular beam cutting -- is specialty in the industry the -- that so worm drive saw that as -- Ninety degree chainsaw attachments. And the beauty of this odd is that you can get paid ten or twelve inch caught with one clean fell swoop round yet. And death by CNN action no problems. -- in there will let them straight out of plumb off the bottom of this post and we keep this up pretty well oiled and so forth."

" Yeah."

" OK -- we have a plumb cut on the bottom now so this is nice and square and correct this post. But I chalk line -- five inches. Toenail that in itself. And this of course is -- nailing that's kinda just holding them in place temporarily -- the real integrity of the system comes once you have the horizontal pieces attached and you start creating. Traditionally been called bent. Right at the on the toenail it on the backside also -- standing up opposed reevaluate the proposal odds medically in any blemishes in the ten or. Face to the -- won't shells internal structure now what kind of -- level is that he's well frank has a extension level. It says great tool for a tall wall -- cathedral ceilings there. In this case we have an eight foot post and this level looks sent -- the eight feet. And you can check here level. Since cleats down with a temporary two by -- told the place and and I just keep going and it's not a situation where you put up to post and beam to post and beam but rather. You put post post post post looked around the whole perimeter or reproduction type of timber correction we'll do that for efficiency variety.
