Today is the crews first day back at the barn after a week of subzero temps. It’s been a rough month. November was bitter, December moderate, January bitter, and hopefully if the trend continues February will be kind to us. We’ve been able to keep on schedule up until the “polar vortex”. The Carpenter bought another propane heater and the crew moved inside to finish the Bald Eagle Barn’s second floor loft and staircase.
During the cold snap the Carpenter and the Bald Eagle Barn homeowner, met with writer Shannon Riley from the White Bear Press. The Press is featuring a story about the barn, and the partnership between the Carpenter and the homeowner to achieve his vision of building a special barn on the property, to match his historical home. The article will be out within two weeks. Will give a heads up when it lands.
We hope that there will be others that would appreciate putting up a barn of this quality. The company that creates these barn kits has been wonderful to work with, down to the last detail. I spoke with my father last night and he asked about the barn project. I said it is exactly the type of barn you wanted to put on your property in Pennsylvania. Oh how I wish he were young and healthy enough to have been able to build that barn. It would have been perfect.
I hope you all have been well and staying warm. It sure has been a long winter even with little snow in the Twin City area. I don’t want to start looking for spring yet but I did hear today that the “Groundhog” has predicted an early spring! Oh we can only hope!
