Well the renovation of the barn’s hay mow continues for CanvasWork.  Like I said in a previous post the attempt is to get the hay mows floors redone and have them polyurethaned so that we can build bigger barn curtains in a what can best be described as a sail loft.  Every couple of months our family goes to the north shore of lake superior on vacation.  When you pass through Duluth you can still see these large warehouse spaces that were former sail lofts for the big sailing ships that put in at the harbor.  Before steam all the tall ships that moved goods and people were powered by large sails that had to be sewn and repaired.  In summer I have stood on the ladder near the window and looked out on our ”Amber waves of Grain” and thought it appropriate that this space be used as a sail loft.   Also, I hope to throw a basket ball hoop up on this end for a basketball court for the family.  Today the red river is flooding.  We have snow, mud and water.  Today would be a good day to have somewhere to shoot hoops.
