Thanks for the compliment and encouragement! The door hangs straight vertically. After what I've learned from a number of you I'll investigate and see if anyone sells hangers that will allow some inward motion. The barn was built in 1913 (after the original barn on the existing foundation burned down) so it doesn't have newer features. Kind of too young to have the really old post-and-beam construction, but still framed out of oak beams and lumber.

Paul,
Sometimes rotten sills can be saved with a very thin epoxy solution. Wooden boat restorers use the stuff alot. One name that comes to mind is End Rot. Follow directions but one generally pokes (drills) holes (distance dtermined by directions) on center and pours in the stuff.
Beautiful Barn.

Thanks for the tip and the compliment. I'll keep it in mind . . . my barn was too far gone however. The sill that (had) sat on top of the stacked stone wall literally had disintegrated into dust . . . the ends of the joists had sunken anywhere from 2 to 5 inches, through their own rot, into the foundation wall.
