Barn Update

(Pics posted soon)
Well, every muscle and bone in my body hurts and hurts and hurts. I feel old. But, the barn is almost done being painted. We hired a young man to do the peaks and after a lot of experimenting, we ended up with a scaffold which is working well. A huge accomplishment. Now just a cupola and finishing the doors. The garage doors will be here tomorrow and I will get door knobs this weekend. Then it will be weatherproof and critterproof. We already had a bird come in and start a nest.
It is so nice to have storage finally. We don't have a good basement and our outbuildings were all old barns so it has been a long time coming and it is really nice to have someplace large to put things and keep them out of the elements.
Matt is working on getting the stud walls in to get it ready for electricity. The dancers will stay put for this year. Too much work to do to move them yet.
We are slowly getting the pond weeds down and it is starting to look civilized. That property has brought a huge amount of joy to all of us. It is a decision no one regrets. Now to just the Hillsdale County piece sold.
