❄️ Keep snow away from buildings (as much as possible - this is Canada!) Snow piled against your barn could cause seepage or water damage to the building with melting or fluctuating temperatures. Keep your buildings clear of snow as part of your snow clearing maintenance. #equestrianproperty #equestrianproperties #equestrianlife #barnmaintenance

There’s something truly special about breathing new life into an old barn while honouring its history. For this historic barn reconstruction, we had the privilege of reusing the original stone for the foundation—carefully placing each one to preserve the legacy of the structure. The beauty of these stones, weathered by time, holds stories of the past while providing strength for the future. It’s craftsmanship like this that reminds us how meaningful every detail can be. At Dutch Masters, we’re passionate about blending the old with the new, making sure that history lives on in every project.
