What do you do when you get a call saying you have to fix your 130-year-old barn that is falling down and causing a hazard to your neighbors?

You grab some friends, some beer, some food, and some love and figure it out.

In today's exciting episode, Jill Davis and Emily Chase Smith talk about the hardship that came when Jill had to say goodbye to the family barn at the family farm. After having been in the family for 130 years, taking down the barn was an incredibly emotional moment for Jill and her family. Her brother perhaps surmised the emotions best:

"It's like we're burning down dad."

Come along with your favorite drink and hear about the emotions, logistics, and history that came from taking down a 48,000 cubic foot barn.
