Building completed at the WhistleSmith

Here is the way it looks on the mountain when everything has been put back together again. Mike Michaud is shown putting the last piece on the new building. Jerry and Mike set a new Olympic record in completing the job and it is greatly appreciated.

I am a bit late in getting the final pictures up and posted, but it took a very long time to sort out all the bits and pieces that were salvaged from the old barn. We now have one complete bay available that can be heated in winter and set up just to cut material for the whistle shop. In addition, the tablesaw and chopsaw equipment are now set up on wheels to be usable outside if we want to do projects on the patio section in front of the building. Overall, this new building is more useable than the larger old barn was as far as getting machiney and projects in and out and the patio portion is really great for washing the tractor and vehicles.

Pipe and tubing is racked on some really nice hangers that the folks at Lowes found for us and we would like to thank the folks out there for all the help in getting equipment and supplies to replace those items lost in the barn wreck.

It is always important to remember that good neighbors are more important than all the other goods you have. Special thanks to Gerald and Ed Easler for salvaging our stuff, Jerry, Mike & Derek Michaud for putting everything back together again and Sid and Marilee Smith for all the snow removal during the Blizzard of '08. Thanks to all those neighbors that gave us support and a helping hand.
