Beautiful job! Makes me wish I was younger, because I used to do many like that. Even recently, I've been offered some beautiful old ballon and post-and-beam houses and barns - free for the taking - but couldn't do it.
What I don' t envy, is dealing with current Uniform Building Code regs and trying to restore old buildings and make them conform. Sometimes the legal aspect is more difficult then the hands-on part of the job.
Here in NY, once the "restore" job supasses 10% of the current value of the old building, it MUST meet modern code and cannot be "grandfathered" in. That makes restoring old buildings near impossible, unless you are very clever with paperwork.
Friend of mine just got a 1800s dairy barn - all post and beam. Got the barn for free, but paid near $40,000 to have it put up at his homestead to use as a "rustic" art studio. He got around code because no one will live in it.
