Old Barn Repair

I'm trying to locate someone in southern Michigan or northern Indiana that does repairs on hand made timber or post and beam barns.
My barn was built all by hand with no nails (originally) in the late 1890's and I need someone to replace some of the 1ft. square beams.
Someone mentioned Amos Schwartz in the Shipshawana Amish area but the phone number is wrong.
If you know of anyone I would appreciate the info.
Thanks,
Dell
 
If you can afford it i hope you restore it. Me and my dad have almost completely restored ours and it is amzing how fun it is. It"s like bringing an old tractor back to life. There a dying breed and i hope you can save yours. We ended up replacing everything in ours so it was a little more expensive than some but it is worth it. It will be our tractor parking garage.

My brother might be interested, He has the skill the ability, and the careful attention to detail, He also has the machinery and tools. 926 208 1589.
It is worth a call, and he might know others to do it as well. His name is Tom. JimN
 
Thanks for the info Jim. I have a guy coming from Three Rivers, MI that does this full time. If it does not work out I will give your brother a call.

Also, the new old barn looks great, I want my to still look original (old).

Dellbertt, I got the following info from Wisconin Barn Preservation Program website. I had attended several of the old Barns NOW )Network of Wisconsin) workshops - miss them. I wish you good luck on your barn restoration/preservation project. Please share with us photos of your barn both before and after.
