On Tuesday morning Mike and Jason from MDK showed up and tied in more rebar and set the forms for the perimeter walls of the foundation
Wedensaday they poured the walls without mishap or fanfare.
By the end of the day everything was in place.
This morning the guys pulled in the drive and removed the form boards and started bolting down the mud sill. The beams are being drilled right now and by the end of the day the structure will be ready to drop back in place. We will let the walls set up while the well meaning and under skilled crew at Boistfort Valley Farm replace rotten floor joists and repair any damage to the floor structure. We should be setting the barn on its foundation somewhere around the fifteenth. Then we will start in on the roof.

Hey Mike!
Glad I stumbled upon this site and also glad that you're doing the barn restoration and not me. Though it does look like a lot of fun and the toys!!! oh, the toys.
Kim and I were racking our brains to try and come up with the model jd tractor you have. There's a 2130 down in Onalaska for a pretty good price. and I can't for the life of me remember whether you were raving about the xx20's or the xx30's.
Anyway, good luck with all the "off season" projects and we'll talk to you soon.
