MILK BARN ADDITION Kansas Farm Life / Midwest Small Farm / Natural Farm Products / Using Recycled Lumber

 

Brian is building an addition to the milk barn to help the cows with their caving this winter.  It will give them a space to get out of the cold so the calves will be safer.

The barn addition is being built using that old lumber taken from houses Brian took down many years ago.

Dave’s old truck with the boom on it that he designed several years ago, has been a life saver.  Each board is winched up and held in place while Brian nails it down.  Dave added an extra height to the boom so it would make it easier for Brian when on top of the roof. milk shed 104milk shed 2 035

The building process is slower then when using old, weathered lumber, but it is looking so fine.  The money we save makes it so well worth it.
