You will remember that I pointed out the front had been closed in for some time before I realized it. Well today we get closer. Yesterday we saw the two upper doors that had been built. Today the north lower door has been built. You'll notice it looks a bit cock eyed. Most of that should be eliminated once the west wall is replaced and the landscaping is complete sometime next year.

| North lower door |
The track that holds the various slideing door is called cannon ball. It is strong and should allow the door to glide easily for years. To the left side is the barn grade. Just to the left of the end of the door track we will probably build a retaining wall to hold the barn grade in place.

| First of six center vertical beams in place |
This is the vertical timber you saw at the end of Day 37 beside the ladder. The cross timber has been shoved to the south to put it under the 2nd floor vertical. The post sits on a cement pier buried in the 1st floor. If you could see it is covered with tar already for the cement floor when it's poured next year.

| Lumber over 100 years old |
We're still working on dating the barn. Some of the wood is in not so good shape so it will have to be replaced. This pile of limber in the back ground which is over 100 years old is in good shape and will be used in fixing up the barn.
