OK, you got rid of the ****. Now the barn is being erected, take satisfaction in seeing the progress. Plenty of time to get this dried-in before winter. What service for electric is planned?
Like everything else with the home site the electrical was not up to par. So I have new 300 Amp service for the shop that is currently sitting idle in a disconnect box or whatever you call it. I created a centralized utility shed on the property so that in the future I can have an onsite gen set to power everything from one location. It also has the water connections and previsions for phone and data cables.
Welcome! Too bad the old barn wasn't salvageable, as I love the shape, but the new building can be set up to suit your tastes. How about including a location of sorts so we know what part of the country/world you are in?
Thank you. It is a shame. I am in Oregon, USA more specifically the southern Willamette Valley
You picked a great title for this thread. I will never understand how people (as in this case the previous tenants) would let something get so out-of-hand. The good work you've done since taking ownership of the property has fortunately reduced that travesty of a mess into a memory. Good luck with harvesting season, and I'll look forward to your continued progress as your time allows.
Thank you very much. You should have seen the old house. It had as much or more garbage than the grounds. Thankfully the local volunteer fire department thought it was great to burn.
I understand your pain . My wife and I purchased a farm last fall with many derelict buildings from an old dairy that was destroyed by Hurricane Hugo in ‘89. We are still assessing some to rebuild , salvage, or just let someone take them down to get rid of them. Will follow your posts with great interest.
The amount of work is honestly depressing at times. Especially when you've done the majority yourself. Having this built by a contractor is a welcomed luxury
Looks like the new place will be nice. Shame the old one was not salvageable. What a mess they left you.
Thank you. Yes a mess and besides an old wood stove nothing and i mean nothing of value. The squatters who I had to kick out after the deal was done had even taken the malt liquor cans that weren't crushed!
Fingers crossed there will be tin on the sides tomorrow or the next!
