The electrical feeds to the barn and the water pump were direct burial. The barn wire is 4-gauge and in good condition, so we didn't have to replace it. Sally was here today, and she ran both wires through conduit.
Yesterday the spring broke on this garage door (in the background behind Rich's truck) as Keith was closing it.
It's a miracle he wasn't hit, because it really snapped wildly through the air. We had just been talking about replacing this plastic door and a similar one on the barn. They're terribly ugly, not secure, not working very well, and they are just inappropriate on these two structures. This definitely makes the case to get rid of them, so we're looking for used carriage-style wooden barn doors. Keith saw some places on line that sell salvaged barn components. Also, he discovered that the state provides grants for restoration of 19th-century barns. We're going to see if our barn qualifies for that program.
