As of mid last week, the 1870s barn residing project is complete!
No doubt it took me longer than expected to complete this job but with the some nasty weather days, a couple weeks of traveling with my other business and getting a couple other jobs complete and installed during this large job, I'd say for doing this job solo, everything went pretty darn smooth. And I only dropped a hammer twice out of the lift lol.
I am beyond grateful to be the one to reside this barn! When you hear 1870s, yes that was a long time ago, but when you realize that's 156 years, that just hits a little different! I am one who is always in awe of the true craftsmanship that went into these buildings. I mean, there's several 40 to 60 foot oak beams that were hand hewn with an axe and are amazingly true, straight and square! Thinking about the amount of time it had to take to complete that task is mind blowing. If these walls could talk!
I truly cannot thank the clients enough for reaching out and having me complete this work for them! I greatly greatly appreciate it!
I have another cool, fun and unique project at this same property later this summer along with a couple other tasks so be on the watch for that.
And as always, I appreciate you all following along! 🙂
