21 November - It Looks Like a Barn

Temperature this morning was 15 degrees Fahrenheit, with a couple of inches of snow.  The crew delayed start until 8 o'clock to allow it to warm up; but by 10 o'clock the temp was only 14, and we had snow flurries all day.  A little breeze made it very cold!  They persisted, & competed their phase of the project by mid-afternoon.  While one of the men lives in Black Forest, the other three live in Leadville; they came down to augment the barn company crews during the rebuilding surge after the Black Forest Fire, and now they can move on to other projects.

It remains to install the 18'x10' door, spread more road base on the floor, and run power and Ethernet out to the building.  The door is scheduled for Tuesday.  The outside corner pieces were ordered in red instead of tan, so they will be installed when the replacements arrive.

By the way, the barn is about 130' in back of the house, so one won't ignite the other in a fire.  (According to our fire code, any structure within 100' must be considered when determining whether the home must have a sprinkler system.)
