LOL ! It was a pile of sticks where you see the end wall in the background and the truck crane ready for the next pick. I don't have any photos of that, not having been around when it happened. Some of the other tin did have wind or associated damage. To be honest the barn should have been demolished, but given the insurance, and the ability to make it whole again seemed best at the time. What you see is the completion of the framing and it being ready for the metal roof panels, well after we took off the remaining tin on the one end and wherever else etc.
