Have you ever been inside of an old barn and marveled at the tremendous craftsmanship displayed in its construction? The techniques employed by the builders in the late 19th Century are much different than those used today. Many of those old barns constructed 50, 75 or even 100 years ago are still standing, even with minimal maintenance or care to the timber. The old adage is true, "They just don't make them the way they used to." This antique book was written decades before the cost-cutting, mass produced, profit-focused construction practices of today's builders. Inside you will learn long forgotten secrets of how to build a barn or outbuilding using the time-tested qualities of pride in craftsmanship. Every professional builder, and every person, be he farmer or otherwise, who intends to erect a building of this kind, can, in this book, secure a wealth of designs and plans well suited for their task.
