The barn could use roofing and siding, but I already knew that. Otherwise it looked good:
I kept hearing a loud banging, so checked the south side of the barn and found some steel siding flapping wildly in the strong winds. I brought out a step ladder and climbed up as high as I dared to drive a few more nails into the side in an effort to keep the siding from coming off completely. Just before I bought the place, a windstorm ripped off the sliding barn door here and splintered it. The new door has several locks on the inside to prevent that from happening again:
From the south side of the barn I looked back at the farm house where the dogs were watching my every move and wondering why they couldn't come along:

The dogs busied themselves with doggy pursuits:
And the two Papillon puppies wrestled and ran in circles:
