Barn Raised!

We had a very successful barn raising party on Saturday that resulted in a ton of progress on the barn. By my estimate, we had about 40 people stop by over the course of the day and had about 120 man hours of time put into the barn. We even had a story in the local paper! It turns out that putting girts, siding, and doors on a barn this size is a lot of work, though, and we got about 1/2 of the way toward finishing it on Saturday. With extra help from family and neighbors, we got another 1/5 of the way toward finishing it so far this week. I'm hoping we'll be able to finish everything up over the next two weeks. Most of the remaining work requires 2 or 3 people.

As always, there is insufficient vocabulary available to express the amount of gratitude we feel toward everyone that helped out on Saturday and has helped us rebuild the barn from the smoldering, asbestos contaminated waste back in February. Simply, thanks.
