Lee, Jim, and Mike,
Thanks so much. It really is a labor of love of the outdoors and making things. Now if I only could figure out a cool, easy way to cut out.....Go Army Aviation.........in RED to put on the roof.
hugs, Brandi

...get an old overhead projector on Craigslist....make a transparancy on a laser printer....prop your leftover red sheets up....wait for evening....shine on as big as you like....trace with a Sharpie and cut it all out at your leisure....

...somebody with your determination can probably scale it up big enough for Google Earth to spot...

That barn is BEAUTIFUL work....I love the "Ralston Purina Door"....I have GOT to stop by with Precious Bride on our regular passes thru Willis....

I'll bring bagels!

Wow Terry. Thanks.:thumbsup: Never thought you would drop by on here. I follow your thread and I love your country speak.

Since I have been wanting to find a local company that has a water jet cutter, I think I will search harder for one to cut the letters out. Hopefully that will negate the edge rust Eddie Walker talked about with a rough edge.

Drop by any time. I work nights and off Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights.
Drop me a PM when you are planning on being nearby.
hugs, Brandi

Since getting back to work after knee surgery, I have been busy on my weekends working on the barn.
First photo shows the last side being started. These are 10 foot red R panels. I am installing 4 foot white panels above these this weekend. I went with white instead of red as the cost is way cheaper and you cannot see these white panels from a distance, as they are up high on the shed's wall.

2nd photo shows the Big RED Beast slinging the tin to the barn from my truck.

3rd photo shows Luke giving me a very helpful hand.

Fourth photos is of the 6 inch angle we installed to keep blowing rain from entering the foot high ridge venting opening.

5th photo is of the 2x6 stall walls going up, with the last photo showing the 2x6 sliding door that will open to the stall area.

It has quit raining now, so I will go back to work.
hugs, Brandi

Love your barn!! Looks like you're taking the time (and money) to do it right. You won't be sorry, it will be worth it!

Coming out beautiful IMO.
Quit torturing me and let me see a pic or two of the "RED" boots !
