Beautiful building GOOD luck with your restoration... I watched I do not know how many House Restorations - Castle restorations etc on Youtube about 2 months ago... amazing what people can accomplish. One of my parents friends restored a house built in 1792 here in upstate South Carolina. Pegged together rafters and 30-36" thick granite walls... one of the fireplaces has a large crack in it rumored to have appeared after the LARGE Earthquake in Charleston SC in the late 1800's.
FWIW - One could never build a fence, much less a building of that size in 5 months with current regulations... lol

Resto...
Lynn...in a world that seems to have little regard for history and often re-writes it to suit the current PC agenda...it is nice to see some folks preserving a piece of our past for future generations.
Some smart guy told me once... "you can't ever know where you're going...until you know where you've been" Good luck with the project   -wilma

I can really appreciate these efforts. I restored 170 year old home lived in by the inventor of the first working typewriter and solar compass. At the time of my purchase the house was destined for demolition. With a lot of TLC, Tons of Lumber and Cash, it has been saved for decades to come.
Enjoy the process as this preservation will become part of yours and the communities legacy. One other suggestion, there are many preservation grants available so hopefully you can take advantage of those.

Lynn, that is one impressive undertaking. We lose historic buildings every few months in Detroit, and the architecture is gone forever. Wish there were more advocates like you and Crush here in MI....
Owning a 100-year-old house myself I can only imagine the amount of work needed to restore and maintain something 10x the size. Keep the updates coming.

Huge Building Resto project
"But it's Not A 1969 Z-28?"
Lynn, I applaud YOU! What a great undertaking. You Sir are to be commended. Remember: "It's only original Once" as in Cars, but in Buildings it takes a special person of vision to bring something back in History for future generations to enjoy. Hats off to You and your efforts. Bill
