Barn Raising~the Prologue

Our latest and greatest is to build a barn for our fruit~actually a glorified fruit stand that will have a walk in cooler and places to store and sell fruit. It will also have an office upstairs that can double as a guest room.

Dad and Gary are going to store their beekeeper suits and supplies in there too.

Dad purchased a horse barn plan and got bids and found out about ordering materials. He also went through the arduous process of meeting with the county to get permits and approvals from the land use people and the farm use people and the water and plumbing people, etc. you get the picture. It is really quite a gauntlet

Wid Payne was chosen to do the concrete work and that was just finished yesterday. The weather cooperated for the most part. Wid was putting the cure on the first half just as our Oreogn tornado was blowing thru. Thankfully, no damage was done.
