BARN ROOF COMPLETED

 

The wonderful crew from Dawson Byler Construction

     The new barn roof was completed about noon on Monday, December 3.  I can't thank the guys at Dawson Byler Construction enough for the professional and beautiful job they did.  The next step for me is to begin repairing windows and doors, other inside and outside repairs, and the painting.  For a septuagenarian like me, that's probably going to be spread out over a couple of years.  That's fine with me.  Now that it has a fine new roof, I've got the rest of my life to finish it.  And I'm planning to stick around to enjoy it after that.

     But first things first.  I spent the last two days starting to clean up the decades of stuff that has accumulated over the years.  I definitely need a shop area inside the barn to repair those windows and doors.  And a place to dream about the way it's going to be.  I'll be savoring each step of the way.

    1. Thanks Sis. You can't believe the joy I had watching them do it and dreaming about the next steps in renovation. Can't wait for daylight this morning to go out to the barn for more working and dreaming. Love you too, Brother Dave
