Horse Barn Restoration and Replacement of rotted beam

🏡🔨 Replacing a 20-foot rotted barn beam is no small feat, but we took on the challenge! Join us as we take you through our barn restoration journey, showing every step from rotted post replacement to footing installation. Watch as we dig deep with a Makita jackhammer, prep those concrete footers, and see the lifting magic of a Telehandler as we installed the sturdy new posts and beam! Witness the meticulous pouring of concrete into sonotubes, plus the thrill of cutting joists to complete the foundation of our barn's flooring.
