The group tore down more second floor flooring above the north east room on Sunday the 24th of February. We also added more tarps to the lower east roof.
The 2nd floor boards are rotted most severely under each of the old skylights that have leaked in the roof overhead.
We worked to demo the old floor safely on scaffolding from below.
Above: What a view looking up through the 2nd floor supports!
The debris pile... we need another dumpster soon!
I'm doing some experiments with PC software that can assist with interior and exterior design projects. Here's a start at re-creating the barn inside of a computer.
Pretty slick. This new way of looking at things really opens up the creative possibilities for the renovation/restoration. The graphics are 100% "fly-by" tourable. You can fly around and through the building!
One look up to the ceiling inside of the barn and you can see how important it is to cover the roof. The tiny points of light are holes with daylight shining through.
Click on the picture and you can see the image up close. This last work party included more covering of the ever-important skin of the barn with heavy plastic/vinyl tarps.
