Last weekend we removed all the nails in all remaining wood that has been taken off the building. All the board were stacked in preparation for transporting them to Raccoon Creek, and a large load of rafters and purlins was moved and slid off the truck in the larger clearing.
Help is needed this weekend to load the truck another time and to stack and cover the wood in the clearing. Loading should take less than a few hours on Saturday, faster with more help. Stacking and covering the load in the field on Sunday will take less than an hour. Please let us know if you can help on either end. I am away until Sunday evening, but you can contact me by email with your phone number and I will pass on your offer to the person coordinating the move.
The next work will begin on Tuesday the 13th when help arrives in the form of a few experienced people and some heavy equipment to allow us to take the beams and posts down. If all goes well the timbers will all be on a large trailer in two days, or maybe three.
Once the trailer pulls away, we'll likely need to return to the barn site for a day to do some final cleanup and remove some trash.
It will be nice to be able to concentrate our energy on the Raccoon Creek site after that. I bet you might be tired of reading about the barn, too.
