Old, My Dad built our big barn in the early 1940's. the Walls up to the hay loft, which is a drive in, are made from limestone rock. Dads older brother had a farm with a small limestone quarry on it from the old Ash Grove Lime Co. He got the rock from there, and built a wall out of 1 x ? and 2 x 4's braced. stood the lime stone rock up about 4 inches from the wall tied them with baling wire and poured concrete behind them and it ran out between the rock and set them he later built a Grade A dairy barn the same way in about 1953, though we had remodled the inside from a 3 bypass to a double 4 hearingbone I was still milking in it when I quit dairying in 1996. The floors had field rock in them and I have chopped some of them out to change some things and it wasn't easy. We have also chopped out some of the rock walls and that wasn't easy either. Green county code will not let us use field rock in concrete anymore. The big quarrys have them sewed up, so we have to buy rock from them. It has nothing to do about strenth just $$$$$$$$$$.

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
