the barn was built in 1927 by my papaw and my uncles, 3 years befor my daddy was born...the old tin on the roof is original except for a few peices that we have replaced, and the old is still better than the new, much heavier than the new tin nowadays.. and i wont even go into the crappy wood that ya buy nowadays that dont last till the water gets hot. my daddy told us that he sure hated to see the old barn torn down, it was built for wagons, and feed/hay storage. stalls, not really for todays needs.....but before he passed away we started redoing parts of it, he was so excited, he sat on a red folding chair i put out for him so he could help and not get so worn out, he took out nails, screwed in screws and bossed, from that chair, he loved everyminute, i wouldnt dream of tearing that big old barn down, even tho he's gone now, i keep his red chair out under the trees by the barn so he can keep an eye on everything. :heart:
