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.

Stripping the Cupola
About 6 hours worth of stripping with a heat gun and most of the paint is off. I ended up with a 5 gallon bucket full of paint chips. Almost everything will stay except for the corner pieces which are pretty weathered. I have some mahogany in the basement that should hold up pretty well for that.
We are debating whether to spend the money for a copper roof or use the same roofing material I am putting on the barn. The copper coil stock is very expensive.
