The Barn is done!

Preparing for the cement truck to come and pour the foundation.

The walls are up! Next step, build the roof tresses.

Almost done...

Done at last!!  The wood pieces in front are leftovers from the shelves Eric put in for storing our bee stuff.

So just a little background...Last spring Eric decided that he wanted to become a backyard beekeeper. So that set in motion the need for a place (besides the already overcrowed garage) for bee supplies to be stored. We went to town and picked out a book with plans. Eric ordered the blueprints and ordered the materials then the weather turned bad. We had a heck of a time getting the "barn" built before the bees arrived. In fact, we didn't have it completed until just today. Eric finished hanging the shelves in there today. Now he has all of his bee stuff neatly put on the shelves and we can also park the lawn mower, four wheeler, grass sweeper, and rototiller in there. It is so nice not to have them piled up outside the garage. The barn also has a loft so we can store things (mostly camping) up there. Our carpenter skills are not great, but at least we have a barn and if you don't look too close it looks pretty darn good!
