the haymow door is and yes that had to be saved too..it will never fit back out of the barn unless taken apart so it is here to stay.. another obstacle for our contractor but he did it..
the saving of the family dairy barn
time to fill the gutters to have a nice level floor...
the whole stone wall was crumbling so these handy fellows worked in the 95 degree heat rebuilding it.
the new wall....
the originl staircase if you can call it that. very very steep.. all the wood floor had been ripped up because of water damage. mother and i tried and tried to talk to the contractor about an open staircase...he was very adamant that it could be done... i call him the magic man... his favorite line was it's just a barn...he eventually saw our vision.
the new staircase... we loved the way they turned out.. my pretty girl who faithfully helped clean out the barn and paint every day so it would be ready for the family gathering on thanksgiving.
doors are off.
new windows and doors. the old doors became dining tables.
painting the beams and ceiling..
