If a farmer starts a barn raising, they can increase the capacity of a storage building. To have a barn raising, a farmer must get 10 neighbors to help with their barn in 3 days. A storage building can be raised twice. The first time will add 5 to its storage; the second time adds 7 to the storage (making a total addition of 12 extra storage place). You can also pay 10 cash for the next available upgrade and get it immediately.

  • The term may also have special, esoteric connotations for members of certain online communities (c.f.BarnRaising at MeatballWiki). Some practices on public wikis (barn stars etc.) share etymological or thematic origins with the barn-raising meme and are intended to foster goodwill and cooperation among contributors. Permaculture designers, practitioners and members of other alternative or intentional communities in MeatSpace and online may make use of these linguistic memes in patterning their communities to build-in guideposts to health and prosperity.
  • In Ye Old Olden Days, people lacked the sort of high-tech construction equipment that is standard these days for putting together larger buildings. Furthermore, smaller communities were generally out of the way from where large numbers of professional construction workers could be found. This could have left such communities in a bit of a tight spot when its citizens found themselves in need of larger buildings such as barns, town halls, and churches. At least, it could have had these Ye Old Olden Day folks not been the sort of people who were really good at coming together for such activities as the Barn Raising.

Have drafted initial plans for a Permawiki Barn in which the permawiki peoples can gather to celebrate our strength in diversity and toast each other for the hard-won successes of the hour/day/aeon. This barn-raising page is my first gift to the wiki and can serve as a call to action and barn door for the time being until we can truly raise the permawiki barn (at which time I will move these comments to an appropriate talk page).

You can also pay 10 cash for the next available upgrade and get it immediately. The total limit of storage capacity is 500 items (this was changed from 200 to 500 after the release of the Storage Cellar). After a farmer reaches 500 items capacity in storage, they cannot increase it any further, no matter how many Barns or Tool Sheds they have.
  • In Ye Old Olden Days, people lacked the sort of high-tech construction equipment that is standard these days for putting together larger buildings. Furthermore, smaller communities were generally out of the way from where large numbers of professional construction workers could be found. This could have left such communities in a bit of a tight spot when its citizens found themselves in need of larger buildings such as barns, town halls, and churches. At least, it could have had these Ye Old Olden Day folks not been the sort of people who were really good at coming together for such activities as the Barn Raising. Commonly associated with both Down on the Farm and the Amish, a Barn Raising is a traditional communal activity where neighbors from all around would come together to help put up a barn (though similar activities could also result in the aforementioned buildings such as churches). Men will be found cutting lumber and putting up scaffolding, women will be found cooking and feeding the men, and children will be found getting the men water, moving the food from the women to the men, and playing. And from all of this, a brand-new barn quickly emerges, one that the whole community can be proud of. Examples of Barn Raising include:
