The wall needs taking down next to the man door as it's leaning, rebuilding and a proper lintel putting in over the door opening. Then I can make a new doorframe to replace the two old railroad ties currently doing that job and a new door. Blast all the old whitewash off the walls and repaint, wire that end up for power and then I can move both workbenches and all the shelving, toolboxes etc in that end. I also want to replace the purlins in the other end with steel I beams ready to re-roof it all in 2015.

Hey Phil,
I love those old buildings. Sounds like you are going to make a lot of changes.
Is there anything under the slate roof as far as sheathing? Just wondering.
