New Building!

[lincmercguy]

Got it done to the point where I can start using it. I still need to finish sealing, paint add skirting, a bit of dirt work, and add some rock around it. I'll probably slow down a bit now that it has a roof and I can use it.

This was the first time I put on a roof on my own. I'm not a fan of heights, but it went pretty well.

Good job. Looks like a perfect fit for your mower!!!

Good job! Nothing like having a place to put stuff.

I finished this up a couple of weeks ago, but I've been slacking on posting the pictures. I put down weed barrier for the rock and added scribed pieces of cement-board siding to keep critters out. I went with cement board to make sure it wouldn't pull up moisture. It worked out pretty well. A grinder with a masonry cutter (and a good dust mask) was the easiest way to cut it to the profile.

I like the red paint.

Like the red paint also. The building looks good.
What kind of paint did you use. Every time I buy a barn red paint it doesnt look red to me.
But some darker shade.

I just got exterior paint from Lowes. I forget the exact color name. I just grabbed a bunch of red samples and let my wife pick. I was worried it was too dark until I got the white trim done.

Thanks I will check Lowes out. Will show them your pics and tell them thats the color I want
The white trim really sets it off.

its purdy, i had one like this for many years i ended up putting gable vents in it with screens to keep out the mud daubers i ran electric as well to keep my batteries on trickle and have lights so i could piddle in it and work on projects. Do you plan on insulating/lights or do you have a different barn/shop for that stuff?

This one is just for storage. I'm getting a shop built later this summer.
