With the help of about ten large come-alongs and an untold amount of cable and trepidation the old barn is about as close to plumb and square as I could hope for. We are in the process of adding internal bracing and will add shear panels to the first floor to try and hold the old girl in place.
Compare the back bone of the barn in this picture to the one above and you can clearly see the amount of sway that has been removed from the building. The roofer is scheduled to return at the end of next week and the abatement phase of the project is hoped to be complete by the first of April.
