We are back at Bird Creek working on the Barn, siding the lower part of the barn.

Time to get horse's shooed

Braces are all done on the barn

Left side complete

Now for the right side.

The rain comes and the water runs right down to the barn,

causing the damage to the poles and lower barn wood.

We changed to our muck boots, and played in the mud.

It turned out great.  

This small project should save this barn for sometime.
