Look at all that wood that I have to turn into a barn. I learned that I should have covered the wood with tarps. Any leaves and pine needles that fell on the stacks caused some rotting.
One of the biggest challenges of building your own barn is that there is so much to do. I worked rather quickly, and it took just under one year to complete. But I figure, what's one year out of the two hundred I expect the barn to stand?
