Leaning Tower of Peesa! Love it!!! Glad you are saving the old buildings - the newer ones just don't have the same character and probably won't hold up as well unless, as you said, you spend much much more money.

Thanks. He finished it today. And after some excavating he discovered that there was concrete already there after the rotted beams had been removed so he ended up not doing as much concrete work as expected. So the cost wasn't anywhere near the $2400 he quoted.

He has to come back tho and re-do a patch of cement that he tried to fix and it's kind of ugly. I know it's just an old barn but still. Plus with the new foundation, now the big door has this gap at the bottom that wasn't there before. I didn't notice either of these things until I paid him and he left and I started to clean up the area. Of course. Even tho I walked down there with him earlier to give my final ok. Anyhow I gathered up the nerve to call him this evening and he's coming back Thursday to see what he can do.

He put new siding around the bottom on three sides, too.

As far as The Leaning Tower of Peesa, I asked him to come back this summer or Fall when he's between jobs and check it out. I'm not sure if it's bolted onto the rim of cement pit or not. May not be as easy to just jack up.

The house and all three out buildings are getting painted this summer too! I'm on a roll.
