The first big step was to remove the shell of the building. The wood within was timbered on the property and we wanted to preserve it. But we had to add dormers and pull all the aluminum (yes we recycled it) off the building. The building started looking rather odd as the metal came off.
There were many internal issues going on simultaneously. The milking parlor needed additional concrete due to the trench that was in place where the cows were being milked. The trench was used to clean up the area as cows tend to "do their business" also while being milked. The concrete in place was HARD, so hard that several blades were broken trying to get rid of it. The concrete was made with river rocks and VERY thick. As the following pictures show, a lot had to be done just to prep for the new construction. The good news was that the foundation was solid (and passed inspection) and the new concrete went in smoothly.
We also had to clear out the barn as there was TONS of stuff in it and get rid of the feed room area as that would become a garage. Several picts of STUFF.
