Confined to the beamery

We are definitely in the grip of winter now. The open sided barn has been converted into a beamery which keeps most of the weather out most of the time. 
I'm using a shouldered mortise & tenon for the tie beam to post joint, with a simple, but wider mortise & tenon joint above for the floor beam post joint. A simple dovetail mortise will secure the lower portion of the intermediate floor beams.
