Upton Barn

The cottons, or more accurately Mr. Cotton has bought way too many toys for his regular garage, so now he needs a much much bigger one with a workshop over... just decided I need one too. We are building a 24ft square barn at the top of his driveway with a 24ft square workshop above. The outside will be barn board and the inside open frame.

Day 9 - Funny how much goes into the hole and all you do is cover it up... then you get to build above ground and it feels much better.
