It is now 7 November as the heading says and the worry is still the weather. There is only so much you can do in a day which now is not a whole lot more than 9 hours of sun shine, if the sun shines.

More of the wall is removed. Of special notice here is that dark spot just to the leaf of the second pole. That is the old 'tile' that Roger is trying to work around. Notice how everything is level and there is a layer of stone. More stone will be added before the footings are formed and poured.

| Part of the old foundation |
This rock is one that was pulled from the old foundation. Imagine with horse a man power only moving these into place to be part of the foundation. That was work!

| Beet harvest 2012 |
Just as a bit of comparison as the work was happening on the barn, the 10 acres of sugar beets on the same farm were harvested. Compare the work of moving the above stones into place and the fact that the 10 acres with all the large modern equipment were harvested in less than 4 hours. It was the last field for this crew of farmers that havest the beets of serval farmers. For that matter the Michigan Sugar Company sugar beet harvest is almost complete. It will be months before the beets are all turned into sugar.
