Building a Barn

Yep, really. 

A Barn.

In June my husband and I helped my parents

build a barn in their backyard.

The Before:

I can't really claim a ton of credit, 

besides holding things up as they got screwed in place,

smoothing the cement for the foundation,

(dad says I'm pretty good at it...holla)

being a "go for" girl, and

carrying lumber from the front yard to the back.

However, I can rightfully claim some crazy roofing skills!

Hammer and Nails, people.

My aim was spot on by the end of that day.

[The real story:]

As we were working on the steep slants of the roof, my spaghetti noodle arms couldn't hold up a sheet of shingles in one hand, and the nail gun in the other! They were so heavy. I had to use a hammer and nails because they were lighter! But hey, doesn't that roof look fabulous?
