At Rancho Santiago we have chosen to restore our 75 year old barns rather than tear down the weathered gray seasoned wood exteriors in exchange for the bright metal slick look. It took a lot of work to rebuild and reinforce the interiors but the results please the eye. It gives us the Colorado mountain look and feel right here in Texas. With help like Bob and ranch dog Blanco just how long could it take?
A real long time :-)

Rebuilding the old barn saved the old grey tough wood that looks so good.

No floors or roof presented some problems on the barn restoration.
