Coming Along!

Despite the rain and slippery conditions, work on the barn is really flying along!  The only hitches we have had so far was a concrete pad that was beneath the grain bin - and right in the way of a footing that needed to be poured - so Chris rented a hydraulic breaker for the skid steer, which promptly blew a hose first thing this morning, holding up production slightly.  The pad was successfully broken which then revealed an old barn foundation....... that will be incorporated, not removed.

So, the trusses, lumber and steel is here for the addition and now the remaining holes for the footings can be dug on Monday.  Inside the barn, the plexi windows are complete, the interior and exterior walls are built and the sliding doors are assembled and ready to install when the hardware arrives and we are hoping that the steel grates for the interior walls come soon as my equine-wannabe-beaver is already having his way with the exposed wood.
