Barn has Holes and Poles, thanks to Superwoman

This is the before picture. It is not really before considering we had the caison drilling company out to drill the 21 five foot deep holes that ranges from 18" to 30" in diameter. Lora and I then stood the fifteen 16 foot, four 14 foot and one 23 foot 6x6's into position. Then came the 11 tons of gravel to fill all but 6 of the holes.



This is the after picture. That is after the first day of work together. You will notice that the poles are straighter and the pile of gravel is smaller. Tomorrow we do the rough plumbing for the bathroom and get the frame ready for pouring the concrete slab. The bad news is that we are one pole short. Even though I checked the bill of material prior to shipment and called and sent a note to the Barn company they still shipped it short the one pole. It is not easy to run out and buy a replacement 16' pressure treated 6x6. Hopefully this can be solved before the concrete is poured.
