    Resurrection of an old barn.

    I have taken on the task of resurrecting an old layer barn that my grandfather built in the late 1940's. It is 22ft x 30ft and needs serious work. This is going to be a long term project to say the least. The foundation is starting to fail on three sides of the barn so I have decided to...
