Moving a barn

 Many of you know that I love barns.  I grew up on a farm and have fun memories of playing in the barn when I was a kid.  I remember climbing up in the loft and jumping in the hay, visiting the cows and braiding the cords that are used for hay bales.
When I drive, I always take note of barns and the condition they are in.  Many around here are not being kept up and it makes me sad to see these old beauties fall apart.
There is a barn I see on my drive to work.  I always thought it was kind of strange looking, as its roof nearly touched the ground.
The property was sold, and surprisingly, the barn was moved.  I am sure that was quite a process, being so large!  It didn't move too far though, just to a vacant field across the street.
However they changed things a bit, by building a new base, and putting the old barn on it.  It doesn't look strange anymore, as the base is in proportion to the roof now.

The original barn has the siding on, the new part hasn't been finished yet.  It looks like it's going to have nice big doors on the front, and lots of windows too.

Here it is from the other side.  I think it's going to be a beauty when it's done, and it has a long, useful life ahead!
