Many of you wouldn't do this for economic reasons. BUT myself I like old barns, and when they are set up right they can become very useful.
My son purchased this farm in 2012 and we have been using the barn to store big round bales, up to 200 4x8 bales can be fitted inside.
The first 2 years he had goats for 4H projects. After that he started raising 4-6 butcher hogs over the winter. Best pork I have ever eaten I might add. Finally last year we managed to get some fence rows cleared and new line fence put in around the back of the farm. So we have been wintering heifers on his place and raising a couple steers.
So this year it has been dry, less hay came off the fields in first cutting, we had the time, and decided to rip out the front half of the feed room and replace some of the rotted out posts. Started this last Saturday morning, and got several of the posts repaired or replaced, with 4 or 5 more to do. The plan is for some concrete floor to replace the old rotted out feed room floor
along with new gates in front of the stables and a sliding door into the feed room portion.
The old barn sets on rock (sandstone) and we are limited by that somewhat.
Here are a few pictures of the fun we are having.

This project will span several years, getting it done on an as needed basis and funds allow. For now, we have the roof in good shape, but there is still a rotted sill that will be replace along with some siding on the west end of the barn.
This old barn has seen several wedding pictures taken in front of it, as it sets atop a hill in Fulda, Ohio next to the Historic Catholic Church.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
