It’s been a busy week. On Monday morning we woke up to a snow storm. The total accumulation was between five and six inches.

They fired up the equipment and got everything ready to go. Around 7:30 the utility company trucks arrived and the men began dismantling the overhead power lines so the barn could travel through. At 8:26 the wheels holding the barn up began to turn and it was in motion. We were moving.

Today the barn moving story continues. I’ve spent the last couple of weeks helping a crew of four men lift a 100 ton barn off its foundation and onto a temporary one. By “helping” I mean mostly standing around taking pictures and videos and trying not to get in their way. I’m a dive right in kind of guy, but these guys are used to working together and they all have their jobs to do and they know how to do them without a lot of communication. I’ll watch them for a few minutes, try to figure out what needs to be done next and then jump in to help.

Hello. My name is Kevin Cernek. I am a pastor and a farmer from Wisconsin. If all goes well I will be contributing to this great website on a regular basis. Let me give a little background about myself so you know who I am. I was born in Valparaiso, Indiana and spent the first 13 years of my life on a dairy farm just outside a tiny town called Boone Grove.
