It's fairly simple compared to studded walls.
I propped my post & beam barn up on temporary posts & beams inside, cut the posts of the barn off, poured stem walls 32'' offset from where the barn stood, and moved it over onto the new stem wall. That had a second floor with oak flooring. That took some forethought and planning, but it went very smoothly, without a hitch. I like a challenge

Always enjoy the projects you tackle. Coming from a manufacturing background it's interesting to hear about carpentry/building type stuff since I've never done it other than small odd jobs around the house and the occasional help build a pole barn/roof a house type projects. The barn repair is very cool. Don't see barns like that in MI.
