We always have a project to work on. The old barn has had plenty of patching done over the years, and this summer it will get some more. The rocks holding it up have settled in over the last 100 plus years, and when the timbers get down to the ground the termites move in. We have been jacking up wood for several summers and patching in cross-ties to stop the meltdown. The current timber we are looking at is eaten and rotten for nearly all of its twenty feet. The siding boards here have also been hit hard by termites, so we will be buying a bunch of 1 x 12's from our favorite sawmill.
