Two Pole Barns, one new and one to renovate

[Ranger Rick]

The siding is looking really good. Does it have a texture on it, I can't tell from the pictures? The only hardi plank I ever worked with was smooth but would last forever, very durable stuff.

I used the cedar mill 4'x10' panels. It does have some wood grain texture to it. I will take a picture of it this weekend when I am back down there. It is heavy to work with. It takes two people to put it up, between the weight and the floppiness of the panel. Rick

Here is a picture of the Hardie panel siding that shows the texture really well. The sun was low and at an angle to this wall so it shows the texture well.

Well, we got all of the siding up on one of the gable ends of the building. I spent a couple of hours doing little odds and ends to the gable before I take the scaffolding down. I caulked the gaps between the trim and the soffit. Also puts some screws in the side of the roof metal trim. That pulled the metal in tight to the rake and had not been done when we put the metal on the roof. I still need to get a piece of trim to fit above the garage door opening. Then this side will be ready to paint.

Red, white, and blue. That would look awesome, but would be a lot of trim work.

I guess I could alternate red and white on the vertical boards between the battens and then put a patch of blue up in the corner. It would look like a giant flag. But that would be a lot of work. Rick

Couple more pictures of the progress. I worked on putting the trim around the windows today. Working my way up this side of the building. My helper had football practice today so I could not get the gable siding on. Rick

The window trim looks good.
