since I can remember Bob and I have talked about living by a lake, having a small house and big barn for playing in. it's kind of blowing my mind that we're doing all of those things right now. just a little over a year ago, March 2023, we were selling our house to fund this barn dream. and happy birthday to me...they started framing out our barn two days before my birthday, August 2024.
dramatic shift with the framing
we live less than 1/4 mile away from our property where the barn is being built. so every day we go over and check on the progress. going from a blank field to the skeleton of a barn was a dramatic shift that was so exciting to see. there's three guys building the barn and the framing was done in about four to five days.
I don't know if we really said much during this phase except - "whoa, it's finally happening". when the posts were going up, somehow the barn felt kind of small. then as the perlins [horizontal boards connecting the posts] were added it flipped to feeling really big. even our builder mentioned how funny it is that the feeling can change so much through out the build process.
