Suddenly, the haymow was ablaze with a searing, white light.

|
You know I ain't took a girl into a haymow for twenty years.
|
|
I told her I would like to sleep in the haymow, with the boys.
|
|
So, one by one, the boys climbed to their strange quarters on the haymow.
|
|
The boy had just scrambled out of a haymow with his hat full of eggs.
|
|
They ran unseen to the barn and climbed to the haymow where they ate the cookies.
|
|
And Grandpa must board over that hole if you are going to play in the haymow.
|
|
We used to play in the haymow, and fall from the apple trees together, and all that.
|
|
He carried his troubles with him into the barns and the haymow, to the table and to bed.
|
|
Two of the boys sleep in the haymow till cold weather comes, but there's no need for it.
|
|
It would have been like looking for a needle in a haymow, to search for him in these woods.
|
|
They went into the barn, arid hauled their parcels with a bit of string to the top of the haymow.
|
|
August put on his gloves and wedged the wrench down under his belt and climbed the wooden ladder up to the haymow.
|
|
Her mother had been standing on the haymow superintending some changes in the barn, had been seized with giddiness, they thought, and slipped.
|
|
Every inch of the haymow and the lean-to are now neatly stacked and plugged with small bales of both alfalfa and grass hay.
|
|
He climbed up to the haymow and surprised two cats that had been intently pawing at a dead sparrow on the hay-littered floor.
|
|
And at night she roosted on any handy place in the barn or the haymow, under the carriage-shed or even over the pigpens.
|
|
He hadn't been able to sleep, so he'd risen early, before Lisa, even, and he hadn't had breakfast and his stomach rumbled as he climbed the wooden ladder up to the haymow.
|
|
We finished the apartment together 10 years ago — it's an airy SoHo-like space in the former haymow of the barn — and hung bird feeders from the branches of the pear tree.
|
|
Their hasty coupling occurred in a barn on a haymow and was witnessed by Joseph's wife Emma Hale Smith through a crack in the door, according to Linda King Newell and Valeen Tippetts Avery, Emma Smith's biographers.

There is also a small walkway that connects the main drive with the sliding door on the south. The upper level is the haymow. The silo was constructed first and supports the roof. The balloon framing for the roof is tied into the silo.

It featured a tall central silo that was in diameter. with The interior had a circular around the central silo on the first floor. The second floor had stalls for 12-14 horses, a circular, haymow, and granary. The barn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1986.

The plans got off the drawing board in early 2000 when a contract was awarded to a group of Amish carpenters and work began. Two sets of old shingles were peeled from the roof. Chain saws hacked the roof into numerous pie-shaped pieces. The haymow and the outside walls were dismantled and moved to the new site.

Clinton Gilson was the builder hand traveled, with a crew, houses and barns. He installed a windmill to grind feed, an elevator to transport hay to the haymow, and gas lamps and piping: Two other barns in Boone Township have been identified Gilson barns. Neither the Maplehurst Farm Barn and the Arthur Gilson Barn have ornamental features.

|
Each of the rafters, in length, were made of heavy, hardwood lumber. The roof construction required the building of a scaffold structure from the haymow floor up. A diameter laminated wooden, circular ring was built at a carpentry shop in Camp Point and placed atop the scaffold. These additions dramatically increased efficiency but there were not enough workers to raise the massive beams.

The Sweitzer Pennsylvania barn is composed of native limestone on the lower level, and a heavy timber haymow with forebay on the upper level. It was built into the side of a south facing hill, and the forebay extends on the south side. The buildings and the connecting stone walkway were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.
|
|
The interior of the barn contains 12" x'12" pegged beams. The main floor is at ground level and divided east and west into two sections. The east area has used for milk cows and is whitewashed; the west area housed horses and young cattle. The upper level consists of several haymow areas and still contains a hook used in the transporting of hay.
|
|
A haymow encircles three-quarters of the barn at the roof's base, and a ventilator sits at the roof's peak. The barn was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It is one of the original round barns submitted to the Register as part of the Round Barns in Illinois Multiple Property Submission. Two other barns built by Carmack within 2 miles no longer survive.

The floor joists of the upper level radiate inwardly from the exterior -walls to the central drive and then run north and south over the central drive. At the center on the south side between the feed alley and central drive are pens with sliding gates. On the north side a set of permanent stairs lead to the upper haymow. The main upper level is relatively dark except for the cupola's windows.

The Nallin Farm Springhouse and Bank Barn are closely associated with the Nallin Farm House on the grounds of Fort Detrick, Maryland, USA. The barn is a good example of a fieldstone-built bank barn with a byre on the lower level and an earth ramp on the opposite side providing access to a haymow. The simple stone springhouse is the source of 3½ acre Nallin Pond. The barn and springhouse were built circa 1800.

The Bender Machine Works also developed some of the first automated "wash-in-place" milk pipeline systems, which is generally constructed similar to an automatic dishwasher with automated fill, drain, soap dispensing, and various wash cycles. They continue to manufacture these washing systems today. 320x240, 170 kilobit video of the pipeline cleaning process for a small 35 cow dairy farm, that has a traditional stanchion barn with haymow. The automatic washing system shown is a 1970's Bender Machine Works "Trol-O-Matic 5570", and the pipeline receiver and pump were made by Sta-Rite.

Additionally, there is a set of stairs to the upper level in the northeast corner of the barn and a bull stall in the northwest corner. The upper level consists of a large haymow for the storage of hay and straw and the roof's system is readily visible. Windows help to provide light to the upper level where laminated beams serve as the main means of support between the two different roof sections. Additionally, another laminated beam is placed near the roof's apex to offer support for the metal aerator that successfully ventilates the upper reaches of the barn.

The barn itself had siding of one inch by white pine, and long, wooden shingles made from Western red cedar. Of all the wood required to construct the Lewis Round Barn, only the shingles and siding materials had to be purchased; the rest came from the property's woodland that was logged to create the barn site. Once concrete pillars were poured, foundations of the 6 X 6 posts supporting the circular haymow at the site were created, and the dome-shaped roof could be erected. The rafters were assembled on the mow floor, so the true challenge proved to be hefting them into place.

Design of Shawver Truss, a predecessor to the Gothic-arch that provided a mostly open loft Improvements in construction methods in the early 1900s resulted in an improved Gothic-arch truss made of longer lengths of boards bent into the curved shape. The ability to create curved laminated rafters meant that the gambrel roof evolved into the more modern Gothic-arch barn. The arch allowed for a haymow in the barn spanning the entire width without any roof supports obstructing use. The clear span within the loft was important to minimize operating labor costs in filling the loft with stover (feed stock) for animals by using compressed air to blow the fodder into the loft.

See file description for larger and higher quality versions of this video. The pipeline and all milk handling systems are cleaned after every milking session using a washing system that first rinses out the remaining milk and then flushes cleaning solution through the piping to kill bacteria and remove milkstone, a layer of scale mainly formed by cations like calcium and magnesium.
