Summer 2021: Glorious Kura barn 125+ yrs old got a century retrofit with heat-pump/cooler, electric upgrade with breaker box & a safety railing

Along the side is a stash of storage flower pots, crocks & roof tiles + bricks (maybe to make a bar-b-q or pizza oven in future).
See below for lousy video clip included to show the summer sort-ganize project.
Bonus: a great article and a fine video about kura storehouses in general:
