Barn Update

Things are REALLY starting to shape up on Buttercup Barn. Outside woodwork, almost complete.
Here is what we have finished:
- Replaced rotten wood
- Concrete floor poured in first floor of the barn.
- Removed all hazardous material (bat poop) from loft
- Bleached all surfaces in barn
- Installed cable system to keep the roof and walls in barn from caving in
- Removed all old wood on front and back of barn, replaced with new
- Insulated loft floor
- Ordered windows/doors, installed 1/2 (so far)
- Placed loft floor
- Demoed milk house
- Framed new walls (in loft and downstairs)
- Electrical rough-in
- Assembled Cupola

Next two weeks:
- Finish installing windows and doors
- Install wall slats/panelling downstairs
- Install plywood walls upstairs
- Install Dance Floor
- Build Steps/Deck to Loft
- Install electrical fixtures/fans
- Install divider doors downstairs
- Repair/Paint Metal Roof
- …..so much more:-)
Bear with me this summer…I have been a little slow to write due to the nature of “summer”, the barn reno, and the launch of my new business website. I will work hard to keep in touch a couple times a week.
