Another Barn Update

As promised, we have another barn update for you and this one is great!  The barn is coming along fabulously!

Check out this gorgeous fireplace on the first floor!
And this is how it looks on the upper level before it goes out the roof~
You can see that the lighting is coming along too.
Dad calls the chimney corbled, whatever that means!
The furnace is in and so are the oil tanks.   Ron is hooking up the radiant heat!


The staircase railings are making it safe~


This is the lift that the painter used to paint the barn.  This would sure come in handy at our house for so many projects!
Are you ready?  TADA!
There is just one problem. 
See the board over door #3 that looks kinda funny?  It was put on backwards so that the smooth side is out.  It needs to be taken off and a new one needs to be put on in its place with the rough side out.
Dad asked us if we wanted to take a ride in the lift and see if we liked it!
NO WAY!  We're keepin' our tootsies planted firmly on the ground, thank you very much!
A couple of coats of paint and no one will ever know the difference!
Dad has the double barn door built and hung. 
He still has the single entrance door to build.
 The siding looks funny because of the tree shadows. 
What a beautiful October day we have!
Guess what? We hear that there's going to be a Halloween pawty here on the 30th!  Our paws are crossed that we're invited!

So until next time...............

Love ya lots
Maggie and Mitch

  26. OMD! Moms says the craftsmanship on all of the barn but 'specially the fireplace and chimney are Pawsome!

    Mom's still trying to get someone to put a tarp on the little chicken coop. She couldn't imagine all those people getting together to build a barn!

  28. What a fantastic barn, bet the colonists wish they had that know-how and equipment and supplies way back then.

    That should be one awesome Halloweeen party - we sure hope you all get to go, but do stay away from the lift.

  30. We're lucky to witness this massive project that grows from bones to flesh. What a journey!

    I can't really detect the flaws but I believe you guys will smooth things out. Nothing's beyond you huh?

    I've received that super swan performance. No no, I'm faaaarr from that. LAUGHS!

  31. WOW! Absolutely beautiful! We are soooooooo glad we got to be there to sniff about and actually see the barn being built. Such an amazing project. And such a GREAT place for a Halloween party. Will there be a fire in the fireplace? Certainly there won't be any bats in the rafters. Yet.

    Wishfully dreaming,
