Default Re: This Old House of Ours

We are having to do some rather significant re-wiring of the electric system.
Turns out that the Power feed for the property is on a pole in the middle of the field behind the house and runs from there to the Barn, and from the center wall of the barn underground to the two houses on the property. That is all well and good, except the foundation of the barn is basically crumbling.
Now, the barn, itself is very well built. IT has moved about 6 inches off the foundation, and has stayed quite sound. It moves around like a big cardboard box, depending on which way the winds are blowing. This morning, I was looking at it and it has almost returned to the original foundation.
We stay clear of it when the winds are strong, and the grandkids are working on carefully removing their stuff from it and taking it to an offsite storage locker.

I expect one day, when the winds are severe, we will watch it roll away like a big-ass Tumbleweed.
