Is there a technical name for these beams or is it just beams?

I think, I don't see any dead bodies. It did not fall down during the past 115yrs, so it is performing as intended and functionally consistent with its intended purpose.

Hey Mike. I haven't gotten any calls from the "north" side in a while. I appreciate you including me on your list. I hope one day to be able to return the favor.

Thanks for the input on the "beams" guys. BTW, the home was built in 1982 and the buyers thought they were "ugly".

I'd call them "the rotten ends of the beams."

No wonder. I was walkin around the woods trying to shoot them.
