The milking area is about 6.5 feet tall and the haymow is about 40 feet to the peak. The floor is very strong as they had the tractor, the grinder mixer, two boats on trailers, two trailers, a fish house, and about 15 round bales in there. The hole out the other side was caused by two spooked horses and later by a son who almost drove a tractor out the hole but got hung up when the front end dropped over the edge (Started while in gear). The roof has had better days and was last redone in the 50's. All the cedar shingles have to be cut to fit the shape of the roof and the family living there is too old to do the work. I would guess that if you took a tape to any part of the barn that nothing would be the same. CB was a blacksmith but he wasn't genius so I don't think he had any plans instead built it by the seat of his pants. He did however build it like a wheel and has 3 support points for the haymow. The barn will not tip over but instead will have to fall from the top down and if it does it will only go to the Haymow floor and could be rebuilt from that point up.

Off to the right side of the main picture was the calf barn below with the chicken house above. This is where CB kept his car. I found out he only did that one winter however as he found he had to dig the car out every time he wanted to use it. That corner was a snow trap.
