Thar's A Hook Up In That Barn

Yes, the blessed hay hook. At least I think that's what it is. It was a curiosity that turned into a feature in the home along with the rail upon which it slides. Yes, it still slides. The hook was installed so that the barn could literally be filled with hay or whatever else you can use a giant hook to grab things with. As we built, every sub kept implying that we should keep it in place.

So the framer says it, then the electrical and plumbing folks say it, then the sheetrock and painter say it along with everyone that comes by and then somehow, you have a hay hook in your new home.

A few picts along the process for your amusement. The eventual plan will have a light dangling from this massive hook above the main floor steps. Nonetheless, it is an oddity worthy of a glance.
