This is the other barn that needs some work before it is lost forever. Needs a new roof, floor, siding, and jacked up. Other than that she's good.

Time to get the holes fixed in floor so I can get a tractor upstairs. The hole closes to me is where the front end of the loader fell through the floor. This is my first woodworking project I have ever done. Looks pretty easy. We will see.

Replaced 2 roofs and put a new front on the small barn. The roof on the shed was aluminum so we reused it on the outside of the shed that was rusting out. Will never have to paint it. Did some grading allowing longer trailers the ability to turn around.

The small barn we have been storing round bales in it putting them where the roof didn't leak. Now it will be used for small squares.

Had a good wind storm that finished off the door on small barn and spread roofing around.

This barn won't be getting preserved. Saturday afternoon winds at 20-30. Old barn on a modern operation, not being used. Only lost a couple calves. Lots of "fuel" for this fire.

Not sure on this but think you may find some value in getting these old barns on your state register. Might help with taxes or rules regarding it. Then it may be like the Century Farm do in our state, you get a sign you pay for to tell your family farm is over 100 years old.

In some areas these old barns are used for restaurants and other types of businesses. Remember near Dayton Ohio there was a restaurant called the Old Apply Barn, in NC there was a BBQ restaurant that was an old barn, still had the stable walls in it. Here an old warehouse is high price to rent for weddings and other social events. No heat or cooling system in it and outside walls (no sides on inside of the studs) only with holes in that wall.

Felt bad about the modification cutting a hole in the wall but will make it more useable. Installed a new floor and moved steel plates to the next section of the barn. No used lumber was wasted. Everything tore up was put back down on edges to strengthen the original floor
