Barn Raising!
Posted by Doug Sat, 24 Jun 2006 23:29:33 GMT
Nathaniel Talbott just gave an excellent presentation on “Homesteading”, staking out on your own to build a business. It was a personal, intimate discourse on his feelings about starting out on your own. His metaphor was around settling “The Old West”. He closed by suggesting “barn raising.” If you have your “land” staked out and know what you need but just need help getting your building built, ask for help!
One thing RailsDay shows is just how much a small team can accomplish when focusing in a small amount of time. At some point, I may call upon my friends to come help me. In the mean time, if you need help raising your barn give me a call!
I loved the idea of the barnraising as well. Our local user group is already kicking around ideas of things to do to run with it. If you do anything with it, make sure you post it.
Nice to meet you at the conference, keep up the good work!

I have a large barn in Red Lion, PA that needs desperate repair. The roof is new, but the foundation needs to be replaced. This barn is so nice, very large and old, approximately 200 years. I am a single mom that doesn’t have the extra money to put into this barn. I don’t want to lose this barn. I have been offered money for the lumber and for the chestnut timbers, I don’t want sell! I am looking for anyone to help me with this…
