Here's the barn as it stands today:

You'll note the top roof part is done and the rest of the roofs are prepared and ready to receive the metal.

All the metal (roof, trim and walls) are all present on this trailer. It's hard to believe that the entire barn's metal fits in such a small place:

Standing in the kitchen looking north. You can see the walls that separate the three rooms. Also, note that the light fixtures are wired up and hung:

We built this ladder to go up to the loft. I wanted something that wasn't straight up and down and I am very pleased with what we made:

Up in the loft, looking at the ladder below. Watch your step!

We framed out the loft walls and those will be covered in OSB plywood. No chance of falling through.

Light fixtures under the loft: These are 8 foot florescents.

Last view of the barn, this one is taken from my back porch. The hose on the ground is the future pathway and the dirt lines are swales that I've dug for future raised bed gardens that will grace this hill side.
