Barn Build

Found under all the wood rubble along with the rotting remains of old barrels were these:



Some say “Full Pint Guaranteed.” Some say “Friends Apothecary.” Many still had corks in and lids on.

The project is going faster than anyone (even the builders) expected. This cute little diesel powered backhoe drove in and dug twelve holes a little over four feet deep. One in each corner, one in the middle of each end, and the rest spread out along the long axis of the barn.

Big cylinders of cement will go in each of these.



Upstairs the winches have been pulling the barn square.

These straps can each hold ten thousand pounds of stress before they break. Currently they are running at about 8000 pounds of stress each.

There is even a winch pulling the trellis that hold up the ceiling of the first floor back into square.
