Let's Shrink The Barn

<- backindexnext ->
Saturday September 20th. A back yard view from the (new) roof. There is no way to get anything back here.

We talked about moving the barn, but decided to just shorten it by 8 feet

We peeled off the siding (that sounds familiar?)
Clipped off the sides and back wall purlins
The inside view, we have materials staged to the next steps.
The middle 2 poles are moved to their new home, and most of the roof purlins are cut away
A few more and it will be free!
I cut the pole out, and cut the front truss carrier, then lowered the cutoff roof section with the tractor bucket. A quick pull dropped the truss tails from the back carrier to the ground.

That was uneventful, but now we have a 10 foot driveway

video soon!

Sweet, let's get this steel back on!
Another late Sunday, let's get out of here!
Now we have a way to get by the barn, we can set the culvert
A craigslist score, 20 feet of 18 inch culvert for cheap!
Lerg brought us a load of landscape rocks for next year.
Saturday Nov 7th. Another good score, in one trip we grabbed 3 apartment sized stoves and a nice Swanstone sink with faucet.
