This is going to cost . But nice to see you want to save this barn. Do you have any Amish/Mennonite fellas in your area, these type of buildings are their meat. And they can do this job , and know the best way to go about it. That being said, if this were my barn , and I was going to reroof. I would strip off all of the old roofing, including the boards/lath that is there now. The fasteners are only as good as what they are fastened to. So I would strap the roof frame with 2x4 lumber and screw 28 gauge galvalum steel barn roofing on . The screws have rubber washers on them to make a good seal , and don't back out like nails will. Myself , I would stay away from colored roofing , as the paint will fade out in a very few short years , and look poor. If you have to repaint a steel roof, aluminum paint stays fast, where colored paint will peel and chip off. The roof vent can be done well enough with a long ridge vent, it will let out more heat than what you have now, but you may want to retain the style of the old vents. I am sure you could buy new cupolas for decoration sake.Hope I have given you some thing to chew on, but mostly I have just given you my opinion. And we all know free advise is only worth what you paid for it. Bruce

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
