Suzie Johnson's Barn Wood

These are some pictures of the wood from the old barn we are having torn down. There are eight 12X12 posts that are in good shape! I am so pumped about this project. I've been rethinking the basic plan of the barn, since we have made the switch to using the post and beam system. I am a decent self taught draftsmen, but I'm not interested in redrawing all the plans by hand, so I have been spending some time learning Google Sketchup. I had looked at the program some time ago, when it first came on-line. I didn't take to it very well, but now that they've ramped it up quite a bit, and I have a reason to take the time to learn it, and it is great! I suggest anyone who wants to draw look into Sketchup. I use a mac, and the combination is powerful! I'll need to post some example sketch-ups.
