Off-Grid Mountainside Barnbuild ADU and Wool Studio Ep.31 | Lifting and Notching Ridge Beam

Finally able to life the ridge beams I cut from felled Poplar trees on site. They were about 22' long each and probably weight in around 400 pounds or so. We had to build a new, taller gin pole from 16' 2x6s which was just high enough to get the two beams in place.
Utilizing advanced framing techniques, building science and a limited budget, we set out to build an affordable living quarters/workspace above an animal barn. We want the building to reflect our existing home's modified Saltbox shape, but of course with our own design and eye for clean lines, functional features while utilize resources our Appalachia homestead provides us.
You'll find this in the beams and columns from Poplar and Black Locust felled at the building site, to locally sawn Hemlock for traditional board and batten siding site finished using the Japanese wood treatment Yakisuki (aka Shou Sugi Ban).
