Well as you can see Barntech has taken on yet a new face. This past year we have grown just that little bit more. I'm very proud of the guys and even more proud of the man that represents Barntech all by himself....my husband Shawn. Recently we had a friend of ours show us how to tag a barn properly so it can be taken down piece by piece, transported to another place and reassembled. If you take a look at the pictures named the same as this blog you can see step by step frames of this beauty coming down. This is exciting for us to say the least. When we first started Barntech we did so just so we had a full time job for both of us. We never expected Barntech to take the form it has and grow to the size it has. Suddenly we found Barntech running us instead of us running Barntech. When we first started we did so with $80 in our pockets. We took on two and three jobs and with the extra money we made on the side we put the money away or we went and bought the tool we needed at the time......in our case CHAIN. Who would have thought that chain could be so expensive??? I sat at my computer and made up flyers and business cards and we went door to door handing out flyers to people who had barns. We did so in a little HONDA CIVIC. *chuckling* We got our first job and the farmer even made mention of us pulling the barn over with our honda. *laffin hard* When we completed the first job we went into the dealership and got a truck. Not the right truck of course but it was pretty. THAT was an expensive lesson. We've made many mistakes over the last few years and times have gotten pretty tough but somehow we managed to make it thru. We have a great town that supports us completely. We try to keep all our purchases and the such right here in our little town because the business people here are responsible for helping to keep us afloat. Now we just have to find a good accountant. From our humble beginnings Barntech has been molded into something fantastic. From expensive lessons, some insatiable customers, cruel weather, picky buyers and unforgiving banks we have managed to keep it going....and getting stronger all the while. This past September we took our partnership to another level. Not only partners in business but now partners in life and each day we stive to make things better. Shawn and I sat looking at all our pictures we've acquired over the last few years and of course just the memories we have made and realized that no matter how hard things got we wouldn't have changed it for the world. Life is good no matter how gloomy things might have looked at the time. We've seen our house bills go unpaid to pay our business bills....we've seen our business bills go unpaid to pay our guys and we've seen our guys go unpaid to get that next load out. This is the Barntech Family. Proud, strong, flexible and sturdy..........enduring all sorts of weather, just like the structures that Barntech was built out of!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers to another great year ahead!!!!!!!!!!!
