The recent ice storm was not kind to our barn. The main roof half caved in and an attached shed collapsed.
Got in a few days on the barn over the past week. I'm project director and wife Carol is the helper crew. Removed damaged roof of upper barn and removed all fallen debris from the shed. Am about half through with the main barn area, jacking the main roof about two feet, constructing a new load bearing wall, replacing rafters and metal roof. Here are a few photos.

New rafters, half roof left to go.

New load bearing wall. Had to jack the old roof up about 2 feet to accommodate the wall. Went about 8 feet per section to raise all 24 feet of the roof.

Old fart too dumb to stay off of roofs!

View right after the storm. Doesn't show the collapse roof of the upper barn area. This just shows the attached shed that collapsed.
