She's a SHEEP HOUSE!

She's mighty, mighty...
So, the first part of the barn was delivered on Thursday. And what a delivery it was. We'll try to take you through the process. Here she is approaching our pasture on State Highway 56.


While coming up our logging road and preparing to turn into the pasture, we realized that we needed to remove a fence post for clearance. Jim and Lynn to the rescue. I was a little nervous given the pitch of the barn. Lynn just ran over to the corner of it. Apparently she does not have a strong survival instinct or fear response.


The rush over was unnecessary as the trailer is outfitted with a pivoting system that allows them to change the position of the trailer so the driver(also named Jim) was able to right the barn. All with a remote control. How freaking cool is that?
They lined it up with the gravel pad and lifted her into the air like they just don't care. (Sorry about that, I am in a musical mood this a.m.) 


Here's another perspective for ya. They place a lot of trust in those hydraulics. It's quite an impressive trailer to be honest. I was flipping back and forth between being wowed and nervous. We purchased this from Adirondack Storage Barns. Brother owned company. True craftsmen and professionals.


And finally she lands in place with Lynn inspecting the drop.


This is phase one of two on the building. Part two is the lean-to. Stay tuned...
