Doing great Lee! Thanks for asking. I need to get the last of the boxes out of the garage and put away so I can have room to set up the wood shop and continue making the baseboards and door/window casings.

The boxes will never go away or be empty. There is always one that gets put in the basement and stays put until you move out.

So it has been a couple months since I have posted last. Nothing too big going on, taking it easy and just enjoying the time we get to spend out here on the property.
I did push over the old furniture shop right behind the house, it didn't take much. It was mostly collapsed on itself from years of neglect.
The second floor of the barn got some insulation in the spaces that aren't accessible once the sheathing goes on. I was hoping that two bundles of R-21 would be enough..., it wasn't. So I put up as much OSB sheathing as I had insulation for.
The spaces next to the windows are open at the top and will get blown in when time and money allow, so I didn't need to put any there now.
Managed to get all of the east wall insulated and sheathed. It was nice to be able to just plug away and not worry about any deadline or inspection schedule.
We came out for Thanksgiving with family and I took a picture of this years first snowfall. It's also the first snow on the barn. We wound up getting 10" of the white stuff.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Great progress on your barn. Do you have heat in it yet?
