Very nice.

It'll probably stand a long time with the roof being good. Tho' no guarentee - our barn roof was relatively new... and it blew down flat as a psncake in derecho winds.
But, I will say the sheet steel roof all held together.

Grandpa Nick helped build the Schwinghammer barn. It was a post and beam frame with rafter framing the gambrel roof. It turned the century mark and locals commented how it stood straight with no sway back. One day when it was tired it laid down.

Awww.

I never realized just how much nails rust away inside the wood, until our barn blew down. It was shocking! Makes me wonder about our house - it is OLD!
