Friday Barn Update.........

It was a rainy week here with Tuesday and Thursday being rained out. Jim and I still made some progress as we finished the front gable end with the exception of the bat boards and some trim work. The shed ends look good with the green trim added.

Still Boxing!

The weather hasn't been too good this week and yesterday was a washout but, we managed to box in everything except both gable ends. We also installed the exterior walk-in door which I will paint green to match the roof & trim color.

Here are some updated photos from today:


Tara and I found this concrete statue over the weekend and we placed it on Shelby's grave as a memorial. It was the perfect size and was a great likeness of "Ol' Sheb". The old girl still lives on in our hearts.

Let the Boxing Begin!

My brother (Larry) and sister-in-law (Cindy) drove in and stayed with us for a few days. We took them to see our alpacas on Tuesday morning. Larry pitched in on Wednesday with barn duties and helped with cutting the oak wood while Jim and I screwed them in. It was great to see them both and we had a nice visit. Too short though.... We could use the help!

We finished boxing in both sides. We'll work on the front and back on Monday. The cupola sits on a wood deck floor in one of the stalls and we'll put that on the roof next week.

Finished the Roof

Well, sort of. We still need to put up the ridge cap, fascia board trim and cupola but, for the most we're done putting on the metal. I'm tired of it. It was in the 30's this morning and the wind was whipping. But we went for it and got 'er done!
