Lol I bet.I dunno. I never weighed it.
It was a lot easier to lift up there after I took the car battery off the top.

This room in the barn, at some point was insulated. There's old rotted insulation in the walls, planking on the interior wall, and..
... the ability to lock yourself in.
Makes me wonder what for.
Apparently it predates Tyvek too. They used plywood as a vapor barrier. This is what's behind the old siding I just pulled off.

My house has a Rosemary Kennedy room in the attic.
my house was built in 1860 there was no insulation to speak of, back then.
the house has planks on the framing, then what might be considered roofing paper as what some might say IS insulation, then the clap boards, over that.
i see this every time a house in my hood is gutted out for remodeling.

Do U have a Sawzall?

Sawzall ain't gonna cut through 6x6 beams.
I think I'm just going to put a pencil mark on that post exactly 36" from the concrete, write "3 ft from concrete" and put the siding back on. That way if the rotted shit collapses I'll have a reference point for how high I have to jack it up.

A Sawzall will go through it with a 8in Blade, it'll take some time but can be accomplished
What's the Dimension from the Concrete Footer/ Pad up to the bottom of the existing Wall?

Oh well, was only trying to give him some advice on how to shore up that important Corner of the Barn

I don't know how the footer beams are attached to the concrete slab, if at all.
There's a diagonal beam gusseting that corner of the barn. So I can't lift it too high. Maybe 1/4" max.

Is that a Construction Grade 2x I'm looking at?

Just leave it as it is and charge amateur photographers $5 apiece to take pictures of it. They think anything broken down and old is art.
In a few years I'm gonna charge them to take my pic...

If U would show some pictures of the inside along with some Dimensions, betcha @Tramm01 and I could come up with some ideas on how to go about making the proper Repairs on that Corner
If nothing else, U definitely want to remove that Construction Grade 2x and replace it with a piece of Pressure Treated

I was pulling off the siding and a mouse kept poking its head out of the wall down by the ground. It would come out, look around and then go back in.
I said "why don't you come over here so I can stomp you flat ya little bastard" and almost immediately after I said it, the little bastard ran right between my feet and stopped!
I lifted my right foot up to actually go ahead and stomp it and it ran back into the barn at the speed of sound.
It's in there laughing at me now.

That construction grade is just there to show up in the picture because it's hard to tell the dimensions of the footer in the pictures with it all rotted and looking like driftwood.
I'm going to Menards tomorrow to get a 14 foot 4x4 and double up the horizontal below the window openings because they're rotted so bad there's no structural integrity.
Til then I'm done messing with the barn.
