My pole barn...a solo affair

[bindian]

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!

Thanks Aquaman. It is a labor of love.
hugs, Brandi

The first two photos are for Brian (Mt. ViewRanch) so he can see I did make some mistakes. The first photo is a mis measurement at a shed joist on the tin and the patch job. The second photo shows the white piece put in the middle instead of on the end of the grey siding.

The 3rd photo is just Booger chillin'.

Number 4 photo is of Dad's Panama hat. He got it from his Dad. It is hanging above the door to the stalls.

Photos 5 and 6 are of the shed upper white siding installed today and yesterday. The white stuff hanging down is the stupid insulation that got too hot because someone installed it wrong. It is suppose to go under the purlins!

Oh no..that pic will not do...you must model the boots

So what are you going to do about the insulation, slap up a ceiling to cover it?

Don't sweat the mistakes, us ammy-tures tend to make few

Brandi, you are sure givin' that fixed knee a workout. I hope the warranty holds up. I had to laugh in the one photo of Luke layin up there on the barn roof. In the US Navy when we went out on the weather decks to get some sun, we called it "steel beach." That's what I thought when I saw Luke, he's gettin' some sun on steel beach. Great progress on your barn.:thumbsup: It's a beauty!

Rick,
I don't know if I can, but will see if Booger will model the boots for Y'all. Otherwise, this old photo will have to do. Yes, Boone, that is a saddle blanket coat I am wearing.

I usually would have replaced my mistakes, but had a deadline to get this done. As it was, I worked an hour and a half last night after dark to finish.

While putting up the 4 foot white "top" siding, I grabbed the silver backing to the insulation and it all just ripped apart in my hands. So it will all come down when I get a "round toit".

Boone,
Glad to hear you'll be sleeping better now. Booger was kinda worried.

Jim,
You are so right about giving the knee a workout.:laughing: The cool snap came in yesterday afternoon and I worked until after dark and the knee is not feeling the cold today. Yippee.........but the aches and pains of overall exerting oneself up and down a ladder and climbing in and out of the Big RED Beast's bucket, dodging joists and rafters has me feeling it all today. But the knee and foot (recent pinched nerve in toe) is feeling like the rest of my body.:thumbsup:
hugs, Brandi
