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.

Installing the first Bent
Bents E and D being constructed. Each one is being held in place by a 16 foot 2 by 4. Bents B, C and D have ladders incorporated into the frame. These were used when hay was being loaded. It allowed the farmer to get to the top of the pile without setting up a ladder.
This shows the huge wind braces that are installed to the posts. Each one is about 11 feet long.
This is Anthony doing some calculations. The wall posts are 12 inches shorter around the perimeter.
Putting bent D together. Everything has to be done in the correct progression.
