Beginning On The Barn...

Recently, I shared a picture of a barn that I found on a teacher's blog.  So, I talked my sweet hubby into making it.  We worked together on the design to make it fit my needs, and we went to work.


Cutting out the first side of the barn...


So then we used the first one for a template for the next one.


Cutting the two by twos went much quicker!


 The frame went well.


This was the fun part...putting it together.


I will use the top of the barn for holding book baskets.  There's a bar at the top for support, that I can use for hanging things.


Now, it is just awaiting some red paint and white trim.  I'll post pics when we get that completed...but I'm loving it so far!  I think my kiddos will love it too!
Many Blessings,
