Mail Pouch Barns

Sadly now a days you will need permits up the wazoo. I'm sure there have been 100 laws passed since they used to pain these on barns. City permits, County permits, Advertising permits, blah, blah, blah.

What type of projector would you use and what computer program for the x's ? Im intrigued.

I can't help you with your question, but thanks for posting the thread. I've never
heard of Mail Pouch Barns, or Mail Pouch Tobacco for that matter. It's amazing what
one can learn on TBN. Thanks again!!

Heh, I have an old Mail Pouch barn I set and look out into the middle of the field at from the front porch on a nightly basis. It is long abandoned and beyond reasonably saving, but it still has a lot of character and the deer and other wildlife seems to love it.

As far as the question from Jakeesspoo (welcome to TBN new member!) on a projector and image editing program, any projector with proper connectors for your computer and any image editing program you feel comfortable with from Microsoft Paint to Adobe Photoshop.

A few years ago, National Public Radio did a segment on this -- the last surviving barn painter had just died. They said that these guys would drive around the country and approach the owner and then go to work. They did the painting free hand and adjusted the size to the size of the barn. Amazing. They also did two or three a day - also Amazing. You might find the show in their archives.

Couple near me, I'll try to get some pics. Neat idea about painting a new one. I'm just putting a small barn up. I might paint it like that.
