Lavender Hill Farm is in the process of having a timber-frame barn built by Mystic Timber Framers. This barn will be home to our new alpaca yarn and clothing boutique, as well as our fiber arts and glass arts studio. December 18, 2010 was the barn raising. The Mystic Timber Framers brought a crew of about 10 men and we had a good number of friends and family come by to help and watch this magnificent building go from nothing to a sturdy frame in just one day. Since the barn raising, two carpenters from BMG Construction have been working on the barn as long as the weather has allowed them. Now the roof, most of the siding, the windows and doors are all in! We're excited to get into the barn and get to work!
This is well before the barn raising. Here, the foundation has been poured.
We will be cozy while working in this barn with radiant heat!
The floor is poured and now we're ready for the barn raising!
This is the morning of December 18, 2010. The day started off a little chilly, but ended up being beautiful!
With the help of a crane, the first four sets of posts and beams went up really fast.
Almost half of the roof rafters are up. You could tell the crew has done many of these barn raisings, they worked very efficiently.
The great group of guys from Mystic Timber Framers who did such a great job on the barn raising!
