Awsome job with the barn. A great look to the front.

If you can not see any possible signs of water leaking, it could be a head gasket that is starting and slowly sucking water out of the engine. Its not bad enough were you would see white smoke coming out of the tailpipe.

I would check the head gasket. Do a compression test. If your head gasket is bad, you can have two possible cooling system leaks. One, compression leaks into the cooling system, pressurizing the radiator, and forces out water through the overflow tube. Two, water leaks into a cylinder and the exhaust system forces out water through the tail pipe when the engine is under a load.
