I think the most likely scenario is that the stone foundation for the kitchen addition was added between the two buildings, and the "outer wall" on the barn side was built after (or filled-in after) which is why it seems to be on the foundation wall. It's possible that the two corner posts are not on the stone at all. It's too hard to tell anything beyond that. We know that the barn roof and framing doesn't match what's built in the addition. The roofs have been spliced together, but the barn has log roof trusses, and the addition has 2x4 trusses.JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09831757279235998895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4537355151674491939.post-5088949196606421382017-02-14T23:50:08.008-05:002017-02-14T23:50:08.008-05:00Definitely some vernacular structural work there. ...Definitely some vernacular structural work there. It really is an interesting puzzle as to how and when those various additions were built. Do the foundations give any more clues if they were separate structures that were joined with an addition between? That seems like a logical explanation for such a crude structure being joined to the house.Sethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11333322563342346926noreply@blogger.com
