Barn slated for demo circa 1895 - 1910

As you may know, the last great project for Rodgers Ranch is the restoration of our wheat barn, circa 1869.  We have fallen into some good fortune because another barn, pictured above, is slated for demolition, and the wood has been promised to us in exchange for labor.  This wood will provide us with enough material to complete the rebuilding of the wheat barn at Rodgers Ranch.  

This is a great volunteer opportunity for anyone, professional builder or not, who would like to help with said demolition and the eventual reconstruction of the barn. This fun project will take several months to complete, so therefor we will be working on it both during the week and weekends. If you are interested in helping us take down one barn and re-construct another, please send your contact information to me using either email address: [email protected] or [email protected]

Thank you for your interest,
