After temps in the 50's and occasional 60's for most of November it waws quite a change to have a high of 10 degrees on Friday. We went out to walk a property with a client on Friday and you could definitely see your breath.We got the rest of the roof on the barn the last week in November and I got most of the tractor attachments and some of the logs moved over to that area. We also spent time leveling out, and seeding along the driveway where we messed it up all summer. It still needs some work but that will have to wait until next year from the looks of things at this point.
In the pictures from today you can see the new roof though obviously it's covered with snow. It is "coffee" the same color as the one on the shed. You can also make out the cross bracing on the cable ends which we installed the weekend after Thanksgiving.
Don't know if they will make any difference in stablizing the building but they sure were exciting to put up. Today we spent our time putting up a layer of plastic on the rear wall to hopefully slow down the wind and also the snow. It was a bit dark by the time we were done to get any pictures. Don't know if it will stay up but hopefully it will help keep the mill dryer. We are hoping to do the same on the front wall to do the same. The gable walls are going to be a bit more problematic due to their height. I figure with the long sides closed off it should solve a lot of the problem. Of course it might also just create a wind tunnel effect and blow everything around.
