The quote “it’s deja vu all over again” is attributed to Yogi Berra and it the fitting title for the blog post for November 8, 2011.
The photo above was taken November 2007, just before the Thanksgiving weekend snow. The dog trot cabin had been sheeted and roofed, and the Tyvek housewrap was put on by a team of friends as we hustled to beat the cold and the sunset.
Four years later, the forecast calls for snow tonight, after a day and night of solid rain.
The heated and insulated roofs are covered with a foil-bubble insulation, the non heated spaces get a synthetic roofing felt
The barn isn’t sheeted, the roof is half covered with metal and building will stop for a week as we let the mud dry and regroup. It’s probable that I’ll get the sheeting finished and the loft enclosed before Thanksgiving, although the work may be in the snow this year. I had a chance to do some timeline guessing, and head scratchin’ and I think we’re still on target to be hosting guests mid to late summer. But even better is I bet I can park the truck inside under the roof before the 2nd snowfall of the year. And next year, the heat will be working in that barn, too.
