Gawd folks I love old barns probably as much as old tractors. I remember helping build a barn like the hipper in Larry's initial post I was 13yrs old we anchored the first double T to the silo which was there from the original burned out barn. I was the designated aligner so that meant climbing to the peak and nailing premeasured 2bys as each truss was hoisted in place by pulleys and a tractor.

It was all worth it in the dead of winter because you could milk the cows and do chores without wearing heavy clothes and the windows would be frosted over. Sorry for the flashback. Sometimes the simpliest of things are the best and the smells I'll never forget. Oh I forgot to mention the hay mow made an excellent basketball court when partially emptied because the owner was a BBall player from his college days so the floor was tongue and groove with reg basket and bank board with lines even marked. LOL
