Hello-- This is a good idea. I was thinking that more would want to come see. But 20 is probably too many... 10 or less would be more like it.
Mostly because these barns are obviously old and are therefore structurally compromised. Folks will likely want to go to the lofts in order to look at the construction details in the roof/walls... this is "pass at your own risk" territory. The lofts can't support many people. In fact when I was there, just two of us (me and the owner) were causing one of the lofts to get very bouncy. I was having second thoughts kind of feelings.... It felt like rickety staging
Second, I don't want to descend on the owners w/ a group that big.
And third, both these barns are just FULL of crap! As I'm sure you have seen, many old barns are just storage vessels these days. Getting around is very difficult even for 2 people.
I think one barn owner would welcome a group (of 10 or less), I'll have to run the whole thing by the other owner. She told me "very few people have seen the inside of this barn (in the last 50 years)."
I'll run the idea of "small groups," less then 10, by them... If there are more barn junkies who want to come, we could do it during two weekends perhaps.
I'll certainly try... the whole thing is really getting neat and I'd like to meet all you "barn junkies."
My wife thinks I'm a bit weird to be into barns. Sound familiar?
