Raise the Roof!

Over the past couple of weekends, Jake, with the help of some (very brave) friends, built our hay barn! It required much equipment and many long hours, but it is finally done!

Here it is after the posts set and the perlings and cross beams were welded. The first piece of tin is about to be put in place...



And then my (crazy) husband goes up to the roof in the cherry picker and bolts it onto the perlings. Mind you, it was a bit breezy this day and he kept commenting that everything was swaying....the barn and the cherry picker. No thank you!


And the process is repeated again.....

and again.....
until it's completely roofed!
And then there is time to take the girls up in the cherry picker to see the very top, up close and personal.....




Isn't it grand!?! :)

It makes me nervous just seeing pics of Jake up in the cherry picker. Don't let mom see. Seriously

Oh wow... that thing is so tall! OK, I'm obviously a dunce when it comes to hay barns, I was confused as to why it was considered "finally done" but had no sides or doors. Don't worry though, my hubby explained it to this city girl. :)
