The Infamous Hay Barn

The organization I volunteer for was in need of a hay barn on their property. Prior to one being built they were using a stall which was leaving a horse out in the weather. Well because I have the best (in no certain order) brother, dad, husband, brother in law, cousins, and uncle they all agreed to put their skills to use and build a hay barn for the organization. My brother was able to draw up the plans in which the barn was built from; there were a few minor tweaks the morning before the building started but I think it all worked out perfectly.

My dad and uncle had put in the main poles on Wed and everyone else went out on Friday and started building. And oh yeah, pretty much finished it on Friday too. There were a few things left for Saturday but the roof was on and the sides were done by Friday... just amazing! It was incredible watching those boys work so well together and how fast they were. This isn't a small hay barn either, I think it's a 20 x 22 - give or take a foot here or there.

They did a beautiful job and I'm so thankful for each one of them. I don't think the guys will ever know how much I appreciate them taking Friday and Saturday to build this barn. It's such a blessing for Hope Therapy and they are so excited about it. They brag to everyone about the guys in my family; which brings a smile to my face. They brag about how nice a group the guys are, how cute they are, and how fast they were able to put the barn up. I am blessed beyond measure to have a good strong group of Christian men in my family who are awesome in many ways, especially when it comes to building things. Thank you guys, for taking time out to be apart of something that means so much to this organization and me. You guys are the best!!!
