It takes a little more time to make the cuts with a handsaw, but I actually don't have an electric mitre saw. <br /><br />I once asked a carpenter why they didn't make those when installing vertical boards, and he just shrugged and said that they just didn't do it out of a habit. Kind of a bad excuse in my book. If you are a professional, and you have an electrical mitre saw, then it doesn't take much longer than a straight cut. But that is another good reason for doing it yourself.<br /><br />Gambrel roof. I am learning so many cool new things by writing this blog. Thank you so much.<br /><br />I really liked Minnesota. Nice people and a beautiful countryside. <br />Brgds<br />Jonas<br /><br />Jonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-76626665652458798052013-05-10T07:18:53.619-07:002013-05-10T07:18:53.619-07:00Oh and the type of roof you are talking about when...Oh and the type of roof you are talking about when visiting Minnesota is called a Gambrel roof, a Mansard is a sub-type of gambrel roof. <br /><br />I believe the reason so many barns were built with these is the increase of storage space in the attic or what would usually be used as the hayloft by using this geometry.

Besides a lot of those that I have seen either on film or once I visited Minnesota, had a mansard style roof, with two different slopes of the rood itself. A steep slope on the sides and a shallow slope on the top. They look so good. <br />Jonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-34523235055764022142013-05-07T16:30:17.973-07:002013-05-07T16:30:17.973-07:00I like the lap joint you are using.

This paint is based on water, rye flour as binder and a little bit of linseed oil and some copper vitriol as colouring agent. I don't mix it myself though, hard core people do it, but I get my father to buy a bucket when they are in Sweden.<br /> Jonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-86257158904547782852013-05-07T13:25:15.583-07:002013-05-07T13:25:15.583-07:00Thanks Gavin.
