WOW! That sure looks familiar! I grew up in western Wisconsin so barns like that and snow like that was a common sight. Thanks for posting!

This is the 1918 barn at the farm. This picture was taken in 1969. Still looks the same today. Grandpa's 1967 Ford F100 to the right in the old chicken lot.

I'd just like to have a barn. My husband thinks ours is a special place for all his tractors. Top and Bottom.

That would be a "young" barn here. Our old ones were built in the 1600s. LOL

You are right, and I would like to save it, but don't have the money right now, and by the time I do it will not be worth saving. Already all of the joists are rotted in the middle of the span because of the way the roof leaks along the ridge where it changes pitches. The kids will just have to do with this one.

I would like to save it, but th ereality is I don't have the money and it needed it done 20 years ago. Every one of the floor joists is rotten in the center of the span and the roof rafters are rotten where the shingles are gone. The siding is in great shape, but it is framed with cottonwood, which is fine but when it gets old it gets HARD! You will rapidly dull an auger bit drilling through those old boards.
