Barn Stuff

It's been a while since I posted pictures of my family's barn in Volente (Austin) Texas. They had a party for internationals over Spring Break - here's a picture of everyone inside the first floor getting food. Notice the new wood floors that have been varnished.


This structure, fondly called "Grapevine Lodge" used to sit in my parent's backyard but recently they moved it out to the lake property next to the barn. They had to disassemble the lodge, load it on a rented truck, take it out to Hao Di 好地 (the lake property's name), and reassemble it. They put on the new door and the corregated metal and wire screens to make it more secure because it will act as my dad's workshop when they move all his tools down from the second floor of the barn. The second floor will eventually be made into living quarters/bedrooms. It already has a elevated area in it where you can sit and look out over Lake Travis. Props to my dad and brother for all their hard work on the lodge and to mom for her work on the barn grounds and moral support!
