Weekend warriors


The barn as seen from the driveway.  It is 32 x 60.

Chris finishing the corner sofit.
This past weekend we completed the soffits and facia on the barn. It has not been easy.  It rains 3/4 days so even on the days without rain,  it is still really muddy.  Chris started to build the cupola and when that is complete we can order the roofer to put shingles on. I am really happy that I don't have to go way up on the high ladder any more. Those gable end were tricky.

We have started the process for our construction loan, so hopefully construction will begin befor the year ends.

In other news I have passed my test to be a Virginia Certified Land Disturber.   You need to hire one before the county will issue you a building permit.  So we decided It would be cheaper for me to take the test.  Just one less contractor we will have to pay. I am sure plenty of you will get a good laugh out of that one.  I even have an official certificate!  What I really want is a big digger I can drive to make it official.
