Today the work is going in ernest to close in the barn so the crew can work a few more days into the winter. Now if we'd known Thursday what we know today the partial wall needed to reenforce the north wall where it meets the barn grade that could have been poured today. But who would ever think that we'd have mid 50s on December 3. Oh well that work will be there when spring arrives.

| Pine boards |
Believe it or not this, what seems to be a small pile of pine 1x boards will become the two doors letting you in at the top of the barn grade. If you look back at a previous blog the two doors will cover the west side of the opening. The doors will each be 12 feet plus wide.There is another pile of old pine 1x down stairs that will be put in place to cover the area that once was the two east doors.

| Vertical timber being prepped for jacking |
Five of the six vertical timbers that will be jacked have now had a lifting timber mated to them. In this photo the timber that is being lifted is to the far left. The timber doing the lifting is in the center with a jack under it. There are two steel rods that go through both of them, holding the timbers together. The rods will have most of the pressure during the lift.
