you know as time rolls along, and I reflect on things, I always felt bad that I could not have had the opportunity to construct a swing beam barn at UCV, to preserve for the next 100 years or so that wonderful timberframe creation from those golden years, in my area only 2 examples remained until recently now only 1 still stands
One thing I did was to video tape both barns and from these tapes both buildings could be closely reproduced, if someone feels inclined to do just that--it would be a worthwhile undertaking for sure
