Saturday and Sunday Bob and I cleaned out the end of the barn with the two barn doors, took stuff to the dump (if you're interested, we'll give you a list) and repaired/replaced the supports, sill, and floor at that end to accommodate the weight and size of this new contraption. In the process, we went through most of the pile of lumber under the canoe and sailboat behind the barn and sorted it into rotted and usable. We found perfect flooring and a 4x4 for the sill! We used stones that were under the barn floor to shore up the lengthwise beams and the new sill. I Wish I'd brought my camera to document all the work! You can't even tell all the stuff Bob did.
From a natural point of view, we saw several small black snakes with a yellow ring around their necks in the wood piles, and heard the Barred Owl sing to us from the woods. The fish are swimming madly in the pond, happy to be fed.
