Farmerblair; go ahead and place the concrete for the floor. But box out or put forms around each existing pole. After the floor has cured remove forms at each post. Place a 4x4 or 6x6 short post on each side of your old post, supported by the new concrete floor, then nail or screw or bolt a 2x8 across all three. This will support your post when you cut off the bottom of the old post. Using the new concrete floor as a guide, you can cut off the old post. Dig out the old rotten portion of the post. How you end up securing the post to the new concrete you will place at each pole is a decision you can make. Using post support anchors someone else mentioned, or bolting angle irons to your post then attaching anchor bolts. Drill some one half inch holes into your new concrete floor, put some rebar dowels in and put in the concrete. Concrete beneath the pole should be 8-12 inches thick, tapered down from your new concrete floor. This method allows you to take on the replacement of one pole at a time as time and money permit, without allowing the roof to sag. We would probably all be surprised by how many pole barns have rotten timber poles just down below the floor/ground level. good luck with your project. gobble

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
