[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 601118, member: 2653"] I'm a woodworker, and will probably rebuild the barn myself with the help of some hired hands. I built the original barn - it was made entirely out of 12" wide cypress boards. I got lucky and was able to get about 40 commericial type metal sheets all 20 feet long (the kind used for businesses) dirt cheap at $200. It's used, but I can fill in the holes with larger sheet metal screws. I'll have to buy 10 or so telephone poles and start over. It won't happen overnight, but I have all winter to work on it. Also found some metal c channels to work with as well. Much of the cypress from the original barn is salvagable, so I'll use that as well. I just don't have the money to spend to "buy" a nice barn, but since god gave me some woodworking skills, I'm going use some good 'ol sweat equity with the new barn. Thanks to everyone for their well wishes. I didn't post to get sympathy. As bad as we had it, the people in Galveston and the gulf coast of southeast Texas had it worse. There is always something to be thankful for. And no, I would never move. We live a couple hours drive inland from the coast, so I consider us relatively safe. Why leave paradise? [/QUOTE]
