With the big wind we had in September that relocated our barn for us came the opportunity to re-build and if your gonna re-build you might as well upgrade right? So our plan was to build a new barn to replace the old that would end up being 3 times the size of the old one. Now most projects around the homestead are usually done by me and the Mrs. or Me and Papa but this one seemed to be of a size that we would need to bring in reinforcements. This would be a multi day project and certain things needed to be completed before others so the weekend before the official barn-raising we had a preliminary event to set the 22 6" X 6" posts.
Of course Papa would be there as he is a sucker for anything involving construction and where he can be in charge! I also enlisted the help of my Sunday School teacher whose big idea the barn raising was and a long time co-worker who not only helped with the work but brought out a concrete mixer as well.
The mixer really made the work go easier and faster.
Papa and SS teacher worked on placing posts as Co-worker and I mixed concrete and moved posts.
Remember, a co-worker of mine would also be an inspector. We just can't help ourselves.
The Mrs. would bring water...
and kisses for me!
Day one complete! We were ready for a barn raising!
