On 03 AUG, Friday, the day after Rebecca, Raymond, & Jaxson Pitre had flown out, Dan & Joe started on the next “major” project on our property. This was building a “loft” in our existing barn (that you have see & heard about many times in our BLOG) for the storage of all the stuff we can’ fit in the house!
The first step was removing the temporary tarp covering we had placed almost five years ago to keep the wind & weather out & replacing the tarp with a solid OSB wall. Then they erected post & beams to carry the load down to the concrete. This was followed by joists & 3/4 inch plywood to finish. Sounds simple but it took five days in some very hot & humid weather. End result is a project that would taken us two weeks at best, was done in five days!
