Despite the cold, cold winter we're having, Ryan has been hard at work on an exciting project for Glory Acres. The project began a couple weeks ago when Ryan stumbled upon a local barn being taken down by an Amish man. We bought a couple of the hand-hewn timbers with the intention of making a timber frame garden shed. Ryan spent many hours hard at work fitting the timbers together with his hand tools. We put it up and decided it's way too big for a garden shed, so this little barn will hold many purposes: First, it will hold our maple syrup production, one side will be my garden shed, a greenhouse off the back, and the boys will get their very own fort up top. Here's a little slideshow of the progress so far. (Ryan's favorite song credit: "Coyotes" by Don Edwards -- and now I have little boys running around singing "who yip, who yip, who0o0" all the time!)
For those of you who can't see the video, here's the still shots. Enjoy!                        |
