Bubba's Basic Barn

Re: Bubba\'s Basic Barn

Hi Danny,

No my wife doesn't get ticked at me, well at least not that I notice. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I told her right from the start that we were going to have a barn so I had room to work on my old car, and for the tractor and other stuff. Now I keep dropping hints that we need a bigger barn for when I start accumulating antique cars. It might take me a while, but I think I may live long enough to get it done. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hi Dave,
It's similar to a Morton barn, but it was built by Rockford Construction, the same ones that built our house. They had an Amish crew put it up. It was neat watching them, they even built thier own scaffolding to install the ceiling.

Hi Bebster,
Yes they used rebar, and I can't say I'm real happy with the floor. I have a lot of cracks in it. I think the biggest problem was the drought we had right after they poured it, as the clay shrank. I may have had better luck with wire mesh, but that's just my opinion. Also when they put down the sealer, the spray tank kept plugging up and I have splotches of thick sealer all over the barn. But overall I'm real happy with it. It's kind of my home away from home. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif But the downside is the wife almost always knows where to find me. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

WOW that is one nice shop can get plenty in there and room to move around ,I like to work on projects also,and am in the process of finishing my shop/barn/storage shed/etc. its a bit smaller 24x32 but it is a triple decker if anyone would like to see it for some ideas perhaps I could post pics?I would really like a bathroom in mine but ,I think I'm close enough to the house only 90' from back door !!(no emergencies I hope). /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

I really like the open area feeling that your barn has,not like your going to bump into something...Very nice

Re: Bubba\'s Basic Barn

big jump in time to finished framing back filled ready for osb then vertical vinyl siding(board & batton) Set a trusses with crane metal roofing only requires one every 4' but the trusses were very expensive 9 cost just over 2k $300 for crane time=one expensive day but thats the way it is

Re: Bubba\'s Basic Barn

Metal roofing started all roofing ordered locally ,comes out of pa I believe and was cut to the inch! I had to cut nothing, only trim pieces around the returns near soffit

Still have to finish insulating then using 3/8 t1-11 for shop walls staining it in gray with white ruff cut trim (rustic look)then I can move in HAAH!!! /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
