Today marks the end of the second week that a crew has been working on the barn restoration at Graywood Farm. The plywood forms came off one of the concrete piers that will support the south wall of the barn. These piers will act like flying buttresses as they keep the barn's walls from moving any further.
The barn restoration this fall will include replacing the entire north wall of the barn. Already the wood timber frame structure has been reinforced with cribbing and additional posts.
The weather has been windy and cold this week. This is not easy work for the guys on the crew, working outside at a very specialized task in the fall of the year.
