Wow! +1 awesome job! What had the barn been used for and what will she be doing now?
Thanks!
The oldest part of the barn is the piece with the vinyl window and door near the end, estimated well over 120 years old, put together with wooden pins and that piece was actually in the best shape compared to the rest. There were at least 4 additions made since then, some of them were obviously built using materials from torn down buildings and the most recent in the early 70's .
It was a dairy barn up until we stopped milking 9-10 years ago. Before milk cows there were sheep and horses maybe a few cows. Now we use it for our cow/calf beef herd.
This property has been in my family for over 220 years, It was painful to tear so much of the old barn down with so much history, but it served us well and better this way than have it fall IMO. We did salvage many of the old beams, sold a few to help with the rebuild.
