Never let that stand in your way. Just tell your self "Of course I can do that", then figure it out.
That used to be harder to do but today you have the entire knowledge of the world at your finger tips.

Haven't started yet. Now that winter is finally over we should be starting soon. Gonna rent a little excavator and get all the junk pulled away. The Amish are going to make us a new beam for the loft since the current one finally broke all the way through and fell to the floor over the winter. Might even get a few of them to help get the foundation squared away once they get their own projects done for the spring.

Reviving this thread from the dead! Just figured I update this thread.



As I may or may not have mentioned, my parents are surrounded by Amish farms. One of the men decided he'd like to have my parents unused silo so my father agreed to let him take it in exchange for the Amish fixing the barn which they agreed to. They have a saw mill and are going to make new a beam or beams if required. apparently my parents two neighboring farms are brothers, one is good with wood and beams and the other is good with foundations and laying block so I guess this works out. I'm still gonna have to rent the mini excavator and dig out along the one side for them.
