Moving a Barn...... This is pretty good. Those Crazy Nebraskans

News report from Bruno , NE In 1981, Herman Ostry and
his wife, Donna, bought a farm a half mile outside of
Bruno , Nebraska , a small community sixty
miles west of Omaha .. The property had a creek and
came with a barn built in the 1920's. The barn
floor was always wet and muddy. When the creek
flooded in 1988, the barn ended up with 29 inches
of water covering the floor. That was the last
straw. Ostry needed to move it to higher ground.

He contacted a building moving company and was
discouraged by the bid. One night around the
table, Ostry commented that if they had enough
people they could pick the barn up and move it to
higher ground.. Everyone laughed.

A few days later, Ostry

An offhand comment landed in the fertile open mind of the right listener who placed the idea into motion.

It could have died a natural death, but it was a challenging and worthwhile idea.

Simple creativity kept the idea moving and growing until it became an unstoppable force!

That's what moved the barn!!

It's a rare thing and a lesson for us all!!
