Re:  Restoration of our barns 

Dear Sam and Peggy, 

     Thank you for the beautiful barn restoration project.  The process of restoring our barns was very educational.  Thank you for your tireless patience’s in answering all our questions.  From beginning to end, you and you staff worked in a professional manner.  The result was a great job well done that exceeded our expectations.  We really cannot thank you enough.

     We started the project wanting to save our 1885 barn.  The smaller barns were not our interest or focus, they seemed only a liability.  Thank you for your knowledge concerning the 1850 barn, we love it and are thrilled that we saved this piece of history.  It would have been a tragedy to have demolished it.

     Thank you again.  Enjoy the sunflowers! 

Sincerely, 

Monica and Matt Schwanitz
