Re: Farmhouse over the Moat
Well, I can do inside work in the winter, but not so much siding and painting. And this was the corner where the downspout went into the cistern. Things were rather rotten underneath.

Re: Farmhouse over the Moat
I realized I never posted a picture of my barn, so here’s one. It’s in pretty good shape, but the little bit of work it does need will have to wait until after the house. Also, I will have to comply with the higher railings for what I call the balcony. Some things can’t be avoided.
