Wide Open Space 2

We hired a RATT (Rent A Team of Teens)  from the youth group Daniel attends, to help us move the lumber from upstairs to downstairs.   We are exceedingly grateful for their strong backs, cheerful attitudes and endless energy.

Daniel and Dave carefully, neatly stacking!

 Goin' out the big doors.... out and around 
Big, and dirty, space.

It is nearly impossible to capture this room with my little camera. 




Wide Open Space

We have successfully removed the grain bin/ramp form the barn loft, and moved the lumber downstairs.  I am going to let pictures tell the story.
 

                                                                                           Hundreds of nails to remove and pick up.                                                                                                                                     
Some beautiful 24 foot 2 x 12 boards!
  The inside of the grain bins      All the corners of the grain bins were lined with metal that came from the cans of linseed oil used to give the barn its first coat of paint.
