I remember studying in history class in school, how back in the 1800's, folks used to have quilting bees and such to help out their neighbors when there was a task to be done. Well, today Dad and I had something similar to that. Not a quilting bee, of course. But we did lay the foundation and set the corner posts for a new barn and tool shed. Now, all we have to do is get the lumber to build the sides and the roof, and voila, we've "got 'er done" as my good friend Larry the Cable Guy might say. There should be some usable lumber left in the old barn once we tear it down, and enough tin to put on the roof. We might have to patch some holes in the tin, but hey, recycling, thats the thing:) Don't want to be be accused of contributing to global warming 'nstuff.
For my next project, taking up old carpet in my hallway and replacing it with vinyl floor covering. Stay tuned for the next episode of This Old House! err, Barn

I thought we agreed that Global Warning was a bunch of BS. LOL. We'll be needing pictures of the finished product you know. :) Hey the Mennonites and Amish still do barn raisings up here in Lancaster! Job well done, Glenn! I know your dad is thankful for your help.
