My son and i started restorations on our 130 year old barn for fathers day. Aside from replacing a bunch of floor boards and rotted studs, we built a new door.
2 more of my quail also started laying eggs: https://imgur.com/a/AMW3Bua
Barn of Theseus
By the time we finish, pretty much. We’re trying to keep everything at least relatively close to the original and fix before we replace.
Replacing a historic bead-board door with plywood is not restoration, it’s renovation.
Now that sounds like a project worth taking on.
Oh yeah, everyone has said we should tear it down and rebuild. But it’s a big piece of history, were keeping it alive.
Fantastic, I get such a endorphin rush when I hear stories like this.
Misread “barn” as “ham” and was momentarily excited. Close one. +1
I misread restoring as ‘destroying’ at first and I was like “wtf why would you do that, what’s wrong with it” 🙃
Is that wall asbestos? Must be newer than 130 years if so, but itll hold for another 130 years lol
lovely!
