With Thursday, our first day at the site, being scrubbed due to a heavy downpour, we built All Raise This Barn (East) with a core crew of four in the rain for 9 hours on Friday. We used hand saws and nails for the build with some screw guns used for the joist hangers on the roof. Tim and I added finish details on Saturday and Sunday before our afternoon You Don’t Konw What Your Talking About #MTAA performances. After the YDKWYTA performance, we went back to work on the barn in the late afternoons until the sun went down.



Crew building in rain on Friday.

All Raise This Barn stays on the RPI campus for the month to be used by various groups and clubs. More info on ARTB events as well more documentation of the building to come.

Thanks to all the folks who stopped by to say “hey”, toss paint and hammered nails.

Big thanks to Johannes Goebel and Kathleen Forde of EMPAC and RPI administration and students for their support of the project. permanent link to this post
