That would be on the southern line, aimed at little round top. All barns should have a cannon to defend it.

Good Afternoon,
Built in 2011, have enjoyed using it for 12 years so far ! Hopefully a few more !

How long has the pile of gravel been there? I joke because I know how a project that I was going to do tomorrow ends up being ten years later.

Good Morning Eddie,
Actually only a few weeks !

On the lower section of my DW, I have problems in the early spring with that section getting very soft and muddy due to a spring that comes out in that area ! My neighbor has a nice little excavator that he is willing to come over to my property and dig a 100' long diagonal trench on that section, and I also bought 100' of perforated 4" drain pipe that we will be using to get rid of that water sometime this summer or early fall !
If the pile is still there next year I will let you tell me that you told me so etc,,,,,

Time will tell !

Sounds like you have a good project going on there!!!! Hopefully that pile of gravel isn't anywhere as expensive as it is here. I really need a load delivered, but I hate spending that much money on it when I have so many other projects that I need to pay for.

I know that feeling, been holding off myself on buying stone.

The other side, camera distortion

Many good childhood memories in that barn. Especially feeding the cows in the winter. Sad to see it falling down.

Repairing a old door on the barn, planned to make a new one but it was to "nice" to replace, history in every plank and shoddy repair.

A couple of more barn pictures from my bicycle ride today.

Any Amish in your area?

I admire the Amish methods and outcomes. However, I had nearly that size pole barn built by 3 guys, a crew from a local supplier/builder of pole barns. Included 3 garage doors, 1 walk-through door and specified 1 foot roof overhang. It was delivered on one trailer truck, took one full 8hr work day and by 2PM the second day they were having cold beers and admiring the finished product. Pre-made trusses of course. Way faster and I consider the building a very good quality result. That is why there so many built that way these days!
