My New Barn

Charlesaf3 · 04-14-2008, 10:39 PM

Sadly it's been depriving me of seat time lately, but I'm almost done building my new barn. Of course, now that it's built, I'm thinking I probably need a bigger tractor which may or may not fit in the barn...

The forklift was definitely useful building it. A crane attachment would have been nice, and I'm now trying to figure out how to design one to go on the QA. A manlift would have been REALLY nice, but I can't really figure out what to do beyond the pallet on forks...

20x36, parking on 2 levels (first floor and basement)

Couple of pics

Now why won't the pictures show up nicely in the thread like everyone else gets them too?

Beautiful!!

Charlesaf3 · 04-14-2008, 11:24 PM

Thanks, I've really been busting my butt.

Any idea how to make the pictures show up, instead of just links? Every time I tried I just got the red X of failure.

Weird, email says I got a reply from Mr Jimi, but I can't see it here. I'm getting really confused.

Charles,

Very impressive!!! I took the liberty of looking through your albums and was really impressed with your home. The barrel ceiling is just amazing!! WOW. Is the balcony at the peak of the house functional? Did you do all the woodwork?

Thanks,
Eddie

Holy Christmas Charlesaf3 that is an amazing looking "barn". I think you're going to have to give the maid a raise for cleaning that many windows.

Now that is one great looking barn! It looks better than my house.

Awesome!
Looks more like and old plantation mansion to me.

Thanks all, appreciate it. Its been a lot of work. But I'm happy with how its coming.

And yep, the barn has more windows than the house. But hey, I spend a lot of time out there, and like the light!

Eddie, did the woodwork myself. The barrell ceiling was surprisingly easy to frame. Took plywood ribs and jigsawed them to the curve that fit, and attached them to the joists. Then just shot the beadboard on with 2.5" nails.

And yep, balcony (widows walk we call it up here) is operable, with nice ocean view. As you can see, it's on the project list. Maybe this summer, if I finish the barn.

Barn is 20x36, framed to park a tractor on 2 floors (drive in basement). 10 foot ceilings, with top floor the same size. No wood on exterior - that's all concrete board, Azek, etc. I don't ever want to paint.

Any idea on how I can get the pics to show up as thumbs? Every time I try it I get broken links.
