This past week we have been working on the de-construction of an old barn which Mona was hoping to make into a chicken coop. After looking over the condition of the building/supports/rotting wood Adam, another WWOOFer/carpenter decided it would be better to tear it down and rebuild using the existing, salvageable wood. So...it was the boys job to take down the barn and the girls job (mine and Jessica) to take remove the old, deformed, rusty nails out of the wood so it could be re-used. Lemmie tell you, it was pretty exciting ;)
Oh, and there were all sorts of random animal bones under the barn...hmm...
Starting the new foundation.
Today the foundation was completed. That is after we mixed (by hand) 24 bags (80 lbs each) of concrete. Whew, that was fun...I'm pretty sure I did the least amount of work out of everyone though so....I can't complain too much.
