Polebarn Materials Delivered

Time to rejuvenate the blog, even if just briefly.  It has been almost 2 years since there have been any postings and probably 3 or 4 years since I have posted.  I have retitled the blog since it is no longer our new house and we our doing more with the farming aspect than the house these days.

The current excitement is that our much delayed barn is about to become a reality.  Last Friday the materials were delivered.  How ironic that after weeks and weeks of little to no rain, the 40 hours before we got significant rain.  The semi and fork lift sank in a bit, but did not leave too many ruts.

Truck arrives, discussing unloading strategy and placement of piles.

Handy forklift, here unloading the steel.  I'm not jealous.  I'm not jealous.

 I was surprised at how much the trusses flexed even though they were all banded together.

A couple loads of lumber are off-loaded next.

The boards are not too bad looking, some tree centers but not too much bark.

Now we just need the crew to show up Monday and get to work!
