Old barn here 1850's. Gonna keep mine looking like the original. Nice new barn you have now.
Good for you! I'm repairing an old family barn from the 1880's. Sadly no one really cares. But I've always appreciated the craftsmanship of the 1880's. Its apart of our American Farmstead History.
You guys did a fantastic job. 😊
Glad you saved this barn. Thanks for sharing
Beautifully done!
Wonderful old barn. Well built and historic!👍
I love seeing these old barns restored 😊
Incredible undertaking, but what an amazing transformation. I have an old barn on my property in the Historic District in Auburn that needs restoration. Hopefully I can bring this back as well.
I love the cantelevered portion over the horse paddock.
Beautiful job.
i subscurbed because i loved the intro. straight and to the point, informative. you should get more recognition.
Great job!!!!!
It would be very nice if the filmmakers of these types of videos would respond to questions that occur in the comments.
Massive undertaking. So beautiful. Had to cost 300k. Are there battens on the old, and new, siding? Sorry... my eyes are horrible :(
I'd love to know how much money was involved in that work. I've got an old barn of about the same size and age as that one, that has the new footers and bracing, but the siding and roof needs work, and I'd love to do something about repointing the stone walls in the lower level. It's overwhelming! I understand why they get torn down and replaced with steel pole buildings. Who can afford to refurbish them?
Who did your work. I am in frederick County. I am looking the same work to be done.

May I ask you how you know about the German heritage of your barn. I’m getting ready to restore a barn from around 1870 and have no idea the heritage?
American Joinery is better than any European because we had the bigger trees
Dating the barn will give you a idea
Milled timbers are not as old as hand hewn
No Hex Sign? if German at least design your own and affix it to the barn, common to this region.
If you want to go one step further chalk the doors with a blessing, usually a German Catholic custom for homes, but if you have animals in this barn this is their home (it wouldn't hurt). It is usually a Germanic Catholic tradition and Maryland was a settled as a English Catholic refuge.
