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.

Building the loft
We wanted a loft at the end that will eventually be my workshop.
This added another 350 square feet of usable space. It feels really cozy up on the loft.
The floor is made from the original flooring from the barn. It is called threshing floor. It is all 2 inches thick and the width varies from 6 inches to 24 inches. We power washed it all first and then we turned it upside down when we installed it. Each board runs the width of the loft and there was enough wood so that we did not have to seam it at all. It came out very strong.
Here I am putting the last few boards down.
