The framework for the barn at Hiram Farm is now in progress. You’d think that building a relatively small barn would be simpler and faster than building a house or a commercial building, but when you’re trying to do it on a very limited budget using mostly volunteer labor, progress can be pretty slow. Everything has to be checked over by the construction manager and sometimes re-done. The methods used have to be somewhat accommodating to the limited experience and physical abilities of the volunteers who show up on any given day.

Despite all this, the progress has been steady and the quality of the work has been high. Kudos to everyone who’s jumped in and swung a hammer!
