Our Barn Project

Our Barn Project Posts

The idea came with a simple pencil drawing over the winter of 2010-2011. It was what we hoped would someday become the barn to our little farm. I’m not even sure how it really started, but the dream grew from that little drawing. Our hope was to be able to build the barn using some reclaimed lumber from an old barn. What it became was a project of tearing down two barns and building a new one from it.  The posts below all have to do with our barn – whether it be the building process, roof water collection system or landscaping it.  It continues to be a work in process.
