We got all the metal work done on the outside of the barn and most of the cross bracing is now in place. There is a partial second story to one side of the barn above what used to be a corn crib and will now be breeding cages for controlled turkey and guinea crosses and brooding boxes for turkey hens.
Found a place where there once was a window at the apex of the back of the barn facing the neighbors property, we always have coyote problems from this area and there is a large population of red squirrel in the trees in that area along with a nice deer trail cutting accross it so I had to make a platform under the window as a "barn stand" lol. Way to wet to work today as the roof is still leaky, but it won't take long now.
I hope to have it done by December so I can begin doing some "dofer blacksmithing". All in all about $100. investment for my "utility" barn, minus of course the tetanus shot from stepping on a rusty 16 penny nail a couple weeks ago. Ignore the mess in the pictures.

Alan, I really wish I could be there a re-construction adviser. I love that kind of work, just can't get my hands in it much anymore. I'm sure you did a fine job, but if you ever have any doubts or questions, shoot me a photo and I'll try to help.
