After several months of work and the typical over-budget expenses, the barn is much closer to being finished. What had originally been seen as a minor queen post repair snowballed into a large-scale restoration project with new posts, girts and sill repairs. You just don’t know how much insect damage is hiding in a beam until you start cutting them in half. Renard, our timberframer, and his crew did a great job fitting in these massive pieces of wood and using the timber framing techniques that were used when it was originally built. It looks great and we are happy to know it isn’t going to tumble over anytime soon.

Now we have to clean out all the construction debris and then we have two more big projects still to do: bringing out electricity and removing the current concrete floor and replacing it with something level.
