24 September 2009 - The circular stone wall is almost complete, and ready for installation of the cone-shaped roof and octagonal lookout tower.

After a 16 month absence from the local landscape, the stone wall portion of the Bell Barn stands again as a majestic landmark just north of Indian Head.

One of the stonemasons chips loose mortar from the stones to ensure that moisture does not collect in such places.

A portable pressure washer is used to clean the stone wall.

Throughout the past two months, water for use at the site has been provided from a large storage container.

6 October 2009 - Due to exceptionally good weather, the reconstructed round stone wall was completed in record time, several weeks ahead of schedule.

26 October 2009 - Piles of sand have been brought in to serve as a base for the concrete floor inside the Bell Barn.

26 August 2009 - The frame for the south door and, above it, with angle braces, for the south loft door.
