For those of you following our BLOG on the Barn Move, you can exhale!! It has officially landed on it's target. Yes, there is still some tweaking to do here and there before the barn is a permanent fixture but the major part of it journey up hill is over. We are excited to have one of our local newspapers (Coeur D' Alene Press) pick up the story for publication in the next few days. In the meantime here are some more great photos of its JOURNEY....
Jacking up the barn in preparation for the big MOVE.
One tough truck. Pulling the barn on to the new foundation.
Job well done Catlow boys!!

Wooo Hoooo! So glad the barn is settled. Thanks for taking us along for the ride!

Your barn move has been so much fun to "watch" along with you! Rolane,I really appreciated your phone call today re: my order. That is real customer service! I know that my mama and mama in law are going to love the aprons for mother's day. I am looking forward to receiving them. And maybe some day,taking a trip to see your barn in person!

I will be looking for your story in the Press. By the way, aren't you on Ramsey Road somewhere? I live on Garwood and saw a lot of heavy-duty equipment going by a few dayss ago--maybe for your barn? Best wishes.

Very Cool! I'm eying some vintage barn wood for making a bench & a table for my patio. There's a bunch of barns that are falling apart from neglect about an hours drive from my Suburban Chicao home. I've gotta find out who owns them & ask if I can check them out & take some wood for my project. Wonder what they'll say? Only one way to find put, huh? Your Barn is a lovely piece of Vintage History & I'm glad you've been able to move & restore it to such Beauty. Dud I ever tell you my Gradaddy used to live in Idaho? We've some nice photos of him there to keep our memories of him alive & well now that he's gone.

How cool! I have always wanted to renovate a barn but could never talk my dh into buying one. I get to live vicariously through you.
