Walls gone

This is what it looked like when we bought it...

This was yesterday...

This is today!!! Concrete will be poured hopefully by Friday.

Concrete going in..

Floors coming down...

Winds of April

We've had some terrible weather lately, but progress has continued...

Got the right lean to done...We've opened up the left hand side with two doors and two window/bar.
And started taking out the wood inside the barn.
We need to keep some in to get up the headers on the right hand side.
Stage is gone...

Half the floor boards are out, and we'll take out the left floor joist tomorrow.

Left Lean To - DONE

BIG Weekend

This is how we started...

After day 1 we got the 2x10s up... right on schedule!

Day2 didn't go as well. We had a little bit too much swag for our liking. We added the tie into the 2x10s to help level it. Here are the results after day 3:

Now we just have 1 more to put up.... Way to go Lee Family!

Concrete floor in pole barn

Hay and Bolts

So we have to add bolts for structural stability. In order to do this, we needed to get a scaffolding. The Oehling Boys (Mr O, Jeremy and high flyer Ryan) make it look easy.

The Yukon has become a true farm truck. Throwing hay is a dirty job.

It took 8 loads like the one below, and we're not even done yet.

Starting the big barn Lean To

So now we have multiple projects all going on at once. We have (1) adding lean-toos onto the big barn, (2) putting bolts and beams in the loft so a structural engineer blesses it, (3) concrete in the pole barn addition, (4) electrical in all barns, and (5) septic system. Here is the progress of the lean-toos:

Thanks to Sam, Ed, Mr and Mrs O for pushing hard to get these posts up, and this process started!

Pole Barn Complete

We had all the rafters up by lunch.
And all the tin on by the end of the day.

Next is two projects for the big barn, a bathroom barn, and concrete everywhere :o)

Day 5- Rain slows us down

It rained all day Friday, and half the morning on Saturday, but we still made some progress.

We completed about 2/3 of the rafters.
