Building the barn

You know just getting a 24x144 building SQUARE was not easy!  I think I had string all across the farm and used about 3000 feet of it trying to do this right!  Hopefully we did get it right and the posts are all in and part of the bands are on BUT the weather is really making this hard.  Tennessee... where you can have all four seasons in a week and that week being the last week of January.... 8 inches of snow one weekend and 65 degrees the next and now on February 10th is it in the single digits and snow on the ground again.  Friday is supposed to be 45 then back to below freezing for several days.

So hopefully I can get the top bands on as I ordered the trusses to come in late next week in hopes we are ready to set them on and then get the metal roof on.  My brother in law helped me set the first three posts but after that it has been all on me.  Every post and band... though my wife did help on the concrete pouring!  Without her I'd be lost.  Here are a few shots of where we are so far.... and thanks for checking on me!
