Saving the Outhouse and Granary



After this last winter, the outhouse was ready to fall over. The floor was caving-in and half of the roof had fallen through.

We attempted to shore up the structure two years ago, but the whole thing needed to be picked-up and moved over onto a new base, away from the encroaching trees.

The boards of the granary roof had also been falling through for some time.

I wanted to preserve these structures, so I hired the guys at Alpine Summit Roofing in Ephraim to do both projects.
We decided to do a metal roof on the granary and a cedar shingle roof on the outhouse.
Luckily, the walls were still stable.
