Day 21: Frankenstorm Begins the 5th Week

Well now our reporting will be a little harder to keep straight. It was nice when Day 1 was on the first Monday and so forth. Now we will change it up a bit. Roger stopped by today to make sure the barn was ok in the wind and check as to the safety of working. Well the barn was ok, but it was not safe to work. He said he would check back on Wednesday. So this post will be Day 21 and Day 22 will be when Roger resumes work.

Rotted Corner Timber
One last item before we suspend the blog until Roger gets back. This is the nortwest corner of the barn. Notice how the timber is all but rotted away. The other three corners are ok.There is also a fair size hole in the roof that will need to be repaired.

Timber to replace the rotted timber

This is a timber Roger brought with him to replace the rotted nortwest corner timber. Unfortunately there are many floor timbers that need to be replace, some more rotted than others. The following photo is a timber totally rotted off.

This is one that will need to be replaced. That will come in the next few weeks for we'll be harvesting some of the trees from our woods to be used to repair the barn. So when the milner comes in Roger will cut some of the trees. The main large trunks will be used for timbers and the rest will be cut into boards to be used on the floor in the hay mow.
