Fixing the barn

On the ‘Home’ farm, the farm my great-grandfather bought in 1917, there’s a bank barn.  I don’t know exactly when the barn was built, below is a picture dated 1907 showing threshing wheat with the barn in background.



The foundation on the south side of the barn was going, so this summer we had Tim Reynolds of Reynolds Construction rebuild it.  Below are a few snapshots of the wall going back up.

The handsome kitty in the first picture is Elmer.

Great-Granddaddy, this one’s for you.




Charles W. Zumbrun, taken in 1936.
