Today Roger and I discussed several items that needed to be resolved. We'll mention them during this, the last week of the 2012 season. In the agricultural area weather is a big part of the mix and usually the final arbitor of what can be accomplished. The mild beginning to the winter would make one believe work could still be done, but it's better after awhile to not fight mother nature so we'll be done with work for now.

| Rotten timber |
The rotten upright timber will be the point of concentration for the next season, starting in 8 or 9 weeks. There is a timber from another barn lying under the pile of material by the west wall. As noted in an earlier blog, the west stone wall will be removed and a poured wall will replace it. We hope the cement forms will make the cement give the impression of stone.

| West wall of second floor |
I like this photo because of the lighting, but it serves more than that. It shows some of the holes that will be filled with boards from other barns.

| Protection for the weak corner |
And finally this photo that has blue tarp covering the corner area that has the rotted timber. Also what is not noticeable in the top photo shows up here as blue streaks in the roof. There is much of the roof that has holes in it that will need to be repaired.
But the first thing that will be done in the spring is the shingles will be torn off the roof. One of the things we are looking at is putting solar panels on the roof to supply some electricity to help power the barn.
