On Friday the crew began framing in piers that will support the south wall of the barn. The piers will be concrete and will extend below the frost line.
The back wall (north wall) will be replaced with a completely new foundation and wall. It is in such bad condition that part of it collapsed during excavation of the outside. In the photo above you can see some of the stone that crumbled as the support on the outside was removed. The concrete block section was added at the corners by Don Blome about 22 years ago. Without that work, the barn would probably not be standing.
