This blog has been created to show the relocation of an 1862 barn from Reading PA to my house in Waynesboro PA. My daughter will have her wedding reception here in August and then the barn will be used to store construction vehicles for my business and will also be used as a workshop. Just click on the titles in the green area to the right to see each step of the process.

The finished walls after the pour
My side door all framed out. We may have head room issues with this door when it is finished because of a wind brace that goes down at a 45 degree angle in this corner. I won't know for sure until the barn goes up.

The finished wall. Notice the tie down bolts that are every 4 feet around the perimeter. A sill plate (2X10) will be on top of the wall, held down by these bolts.
This is the front of the barn and it steps down 16 inches so that I can put stone in and 6 inches of concrete. There will be a bay to the left that will be my shop and the bay on the far right will be for storage. The two center bays will hold construction trailers.
