Renovation of a 400 square foot house built in 1922 located in Cornish, Maine. The original foundation was 20 feet by 20 feet. At some point in the house's history a small (10' x 8') addition was put on the back. Later that addition was removed and enlarged to an addition the full width of the house and remained 8 foot deep.
The collar ties are in to strengthen the rafters. Martin put in wind bracing in each of the corners. He also put in braces from each rafter to a center board that ran along the collar ties.
