Do you have an estimated completion date?<br /><br />Chris, thanks! I've just been looking at the weather forecast and see that Hurricane Nate is scheduled to dump a lot of water on us tomorrow and the next day. Can't do much about the barn for all that, but I plan to get as much planting in today as I can!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-22002769002161261432017-10-06T22:32:27.353-04:002017-10-06T22:32:27.353-04:00I love seeing construction projects.

We've had a few more snags getting our church built...first with permits, then with contractors up and quitting on us and now with weather. Hopefully they'll finish the shingles today (before we get more rain this weekend!) and having the siding finished this weekend would be great also. Wondering where the doors are?Renee Nefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08167893445846427824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-3862373977326163912017-10-05T05:18:23.044-04:002017-10-05T05:18:23.044-04:00Mama Pea, thanks!

Other non-Amish have been known to just take which I find worse. <br /><br />Old barn wood is like wd-40 and duct tape. It has a million and one uses.<br /><br />I still think that barn is too good for a handful of goats!Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-82572134203323036322017-10-02T10:08:46.707-04:002017-10-02T10:08:46.707-04:00That must be so exciting!

We had that problem for awhile when we first moved in. We had stuff stored temporarily in the old barn carport and people were stopping by to ask if they could have this or that. And it wasn't all that visible from the street! You had to be deliberately looking to see it.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-41628507642628196652017-10-02T06:38:19.816-04:002017-10-02T06:38:19.816-04:00While you are putting up a barn, we tore one down ...While you are putting up a barn, we tore one down and are recycling what we can. We are also getting a plethora of strangers driving up and asking for wood for free. It can be very annoying some days.
