I finally got that old barn down and the lean to off the big barn and got something better put up.
The black and white steel on the back wall was the center wall in the old one,it's the back wall in the new one. I just lowered the header and sloped the roof the other way. I put steel on the outside so the wall is double thick now. It'll keep the cattle from tearing up the new wall anyway. What you can see up close in the second picture is a barn what I left standing. The new stuff started and went from there.
We've had a few good fires burning old lumber but I've got one heck of a bunch of old steel to clean up and haul to the crusher yet.
I have to pour some concrete yet where there wasn't any between the old barn and lean to and where there was a free stall alley needs to be raised up.
I reused the steel off the roof of the lean to on the back sidewalls.
