It took a few days, but Garry is safely in the village, getting ready to help replace the barn roof and build walls. He arrived late Tuesday after a couple days in Uzgorod (northern Ukraine). Sunday evening he got stopped by the police while walking in the city. They were concerned because he wasn't wearing a coat. He explained that he was from Canada and thought it was very warm, which was why he only had a T-shirt on. On Monday he helped load supplies from a warehouse into vans, one of which he traveled in down to the farm. He said it reminded him of his time in Poland.
Here's a couple of before photos, it's the original barn, it hasn't had cows in for a couple years, the canvas had a ten year guarantee about 14 years ago, and they are going to replace it with metal. You can see it's had some patches in the last couple years. They are going to build block side walls. Since last summer they have been raising chickens for meat and eggs in it and it needed some modifications to work better for that.
Garry said first steps were cleaning up around the barn and removing the canvas, the steel was supposed to be delivered today.
