AT this point I am so close to being able to say that I alone Reclaimed a HUGE old barn ALONE and have taught my Kids and there friends THAT THEY CAN DO WHAT EVER THEY PUT THERE MIND TO.
I am One Man - in my early 40s - and have Learned more about myself, History , Underground railroad , and this areas past History and more while Reclaiming this barn , Not to mention I am now in very good Shape - Go try Moving a 40 ft beam just 1 foot by yourself and you will see what I mean .

This is the 1st Barn I have Reclaimed, I have wanted to do this for yrs, I was Born in N. Indiana and remember taking rides and going on trips as a kid and seeing all these HUGE Great looking Barns an had never been in one But They just looked so nice. About 10 yrs back I read that the old barns in the Midwest WERE Disappearing fast and have wanted to help save them and or the at least take some down ( many people just burn them down) I ended up moving to FL. and stayed for over 20 yrs and some how ended up in S. Indiana and went in a Barn for the 1st time in my life at close to 40 yrs old. I ended up doing this Barn and getting it by chance and wasnt really looking at that time But took it on and what A ride it is. This old Barn was built in the early to mid 1800s , Part of the Undergroung railroad and More . I have to get out to the barn But will be including much more. MAKE IT A GREAT DAY . SCOTTY |
