To me, it is a work of art. And the main fellow and all the artisans who did the work got fair recompense and it helps preserve these skills. Truly truly exquisite artwork. My one thought about the greenhouse, in case you haven't considered this yet, is that greenhouses produce a LOT of moisture and humidity, which isn't all that compatible with wood structures. That moisture and humidity can attract termites and wood-eating fungi. So that needs to be taken into account. Great job, Morgan, and it adds so much to the Vermont landscape. Here in the South (where I'm stuck), all you see is the old barns falling down, you never see a new wood farm structure, ever. And there are probably good reasons for that, but just saying, to see the old traditions live on at such a scale is a delight.

He loves your barn. He says that’s the way his grandfather built their barn and he’s happy people are still doing it. He’s 77 and it is a nice holiday tradition we’re taking part in, to see him smile that way and get excited and get talking about it is very nice. Thank you so much.

And for the "true Vermonters" who have hostility toward someone like Morgan, toward tourists and newly arrived property owners, consider the plight of the Native Americans, who occupied this land for millennia before the European Americans who now control it.

We didn't have the deep pockets as you did for your barn, but we did hire 'Carolina Carports' to build our metal barn - about 1,200 sq ft, and it was about $40K with the cement slab and the metal barn structure, but worth every dime. We got it in RED. So are you going to ever paint this barn or did you use a natural stain on the exterior wood? I also cut out a circle, painted, and hung a Pennsylvania Dutch hex sign on the barn facing the road - (good luck sign).

Building materials had to be brought in by ferry. He works for the excavating company, and it still cost him an arm and a leg. Outbuildings are valuable, and sometimes you gotta build in rock or sand and that cost differs by location and need. Good choice, Morgan.

When you are ready, you can order a load of finely crushed white rock. It will fill in all the spaces on the coarse rock layer and give you a beautiful and comfortable floor. I needed to make a new driveway 30 ft. X 50 ft.. I ordered crushed white rock, 1" average diameter stone. They came out and dropped tons of stone for me to spread out, but the rocks were 2" - 2 1/2" diameter. When I called the quarry company, they said they could not pick up the rock, to spread it out. After I continued to escalate my complaint they agreed to bring tons more of fine chipped stone to put on top. I ended up with a 5" deep driveway even after rolling the surface to compact it. Fifteen years later is was all compressed down to ground level.
