That's great to see someone saving an old barn. I see too many of them crumbling away around here. There is one along Kansas hwy. 150 just west of US 50 that I drive by often, and it makes me sick to see how it's deteriorated over the last 20 years. I think it's part of a big ranch now and I'm sure they don't care.
Mom had a guy come in after Dad passed away and rebuild the rock foundation under the south end of their barn. It had been crumbling away for several years and finally had the frame drooping on that end. Only problem was when they jacked it up and rebuilt the foundation, it came out about an inch too high and it caused a slight "spread" to show higher up. Still, it made it solid again. I don't know the age of the barn, but the frame was pegged together and not bolted or nailed. She then had a metal roof put on because it was cheaper than shingling it again. I had composition shingled over the wood shingles when I was in high school in the late '50s and that lasted 30 years.[/i]
