y'know dave...it seems to me there ARE more old barns up north. maybe i'm wrong, but maybe they tend to last longer up there. like i said in my first post, a lot of old buildings here in the south fall to termite damage. my canadian cousin still runs the family farm up there and the original barn is still standing and in use. (at least a hundred years old) he still keeps stock in the lower part, especially in winter, and the upper floors are filled to the gills with hay every year. i was up there this summer and found that he had totally replaced the main floor with timbers (all 12"X12") cut right off the farm and hewn at the sawmill he rebuilt and still operates. being as he's 70 years old and still manages to keep the whole place going, with help from his youngest boy and wife...farming must be a good healthy way to live. -mike
