I'm pretty sure it is structurally sound, the cows use it as a scratching post. We did find a few dead mice while cleaning it out. What do you recommend for keeping them at bay? The ventilation is actually pretty good. There are windows on all four walls. They do need to be replaced...

Some progress pictures, we got the inside cleaned out today, also painted it. The roof was completed yesterday.
