we'd like to keep the Barn up. it was built by my wife's great great grandfather in 1905.
there was a fellow that was at the auction that bought some of the old lumber (mix of OLD new boards and recycled) and he may have interest so i'll probably talk to him 1st.
it needed the roof fixed (slate) probably 5-8 years ago and the windows have rotted out too. my FIL just had some aamish fix a couple holes in the roof but i havenn't been out there in the rain to see if they got it all. it is still salvageable. I'll board up the windows to keep the rain from blowing in and then will start fixing some rotten spots in the floor. would love to see some 4h kids that need a place for a couple animals use it at some point. need to also get all the hay and straw out of the barn so when (not if) there is a leak the hay won't hold the moisture on the wood quite as bad. may help discourage critters too. there is probably 300 bales of what looks like decent straw in there but all the strings are broke. but we cannot spend a fortune on it either and someday like all of us it too will be back to dust. which is why so many of these old barns are left to rot unfortunately.
