The 1905 slate barn roof is going bad fast. especially with all this wind we've had and of course when a couple start to leak the rain rusts out the nails below and its a cascading effect.
the barn is worth saving but needs to have something done sooner than later.
question. maybe dumb but you don't know if you don't ask... i was wondering is it possible to install steel over the slate shingles? basically to save the labor in stripping as well as the hassle of stripping slate from 50ft high (peak of the barn) and the shear amount of slate on a 45x72ft gambrel roof barn. logic would say cannot drive screws thru the slate but maybe someone has tried it or there is a way to do it??? or partly strip enough to put new perlin strips down and steel on top of that?
Very hard to get someone that can/will fix the slate. i've got quite a bit of spare slate but lately they've been falling fast. one amish crew is willing to work on it and has before for my wife's grandparents but they aren't terribly reliable and another fellow will work on it but has no way to get up there (??). I'm estimating i can buy the steel for about $6-7000 (not counting ridge cap or edges ect ect) but getting it on is another story.

Well, when our family moved to our 20 acre site near New Prague, Minnesota, I had one thought in mind. You guessed it, farm it somehow. A little history is in order. In my younger days, mom, dad and my brother made frequent visits to dad's youngest brother Pete, who took over the home farm from grandpa MIke. It was the typical set-up, milk cows, pigs & chickens. In the winter, we'd play
