The Barn starts to form

Below are some shots of the Barn foundation in progress.   Not surprising after the complexity of the main house foundation, this smaller version was a bit difficult as well.  Building this little devil into the hill has the foundation stepping up from a 10 inch wall in the front to a 4 1/2 foot one in back and it had to move 1-1/2 feet forward as well.

We think it will look nice feeding into the slope, with the main drawbacks being that we lost all the back windows and one of the side ones as well, and we'll have to do some creative work to cover the interior cement walls.

Country Carpenters will be on-site next Wednesday to start the Barn, so next weeks post should show the beginning of our first wooden structure rising above the mass of cement we have now.
