A Barn Restored


Behind our house rests a very old dairy barn. We used to run our pottery business out of it, but we got tired of being broke and went and got real jobs in which we work less and earn more.

Anyway, the barn roof had large holes and everything was wet and we needed to either bulldoze it or start taking care of it. Since we were only in the middle of two adoptions (China and Russia) and a 1200 sq foot addition and a laundry room project and restuccoing and repainting the house, we thought: Yes! Let's take on a new project! Fun! Fun!

October 2005 - Jamie and Greg (b.i.l.) and Dad rip off the old roof. That's Greg up there securing the safety harness. There is little that Greg cannot do.








November 2005 - bare naked barn






December 2005 - cute new roof thanks to Rainshield Roofing We were going to stop here, as the water-problem was solved. But Santa Greg brought us a nice suprise.

















July 2006 - Greg (awesome sweet generous b.i.l.) and Dad (Mr. UberHelpful) and Kayti (lovely niece) paint the barn.
