My Barn..... Finally !!!

Scotty, I've never seen anyone put on stain before the entire structure is framed, but it does seem to make sense to do that. Your shop is looking very good and you're making great progress. I'm still very jealous.

Wow! Scotty, that's some serious "truss-puttin'-on-equipment"! Made some easy work of it didn't it? Making good progress and I'm enjoying the thread.

Scotty,
It looks great!! Great time of year to be doing the final touches. I am sure the neighbors are impressed cause it sure looks perfect.

Good Afternoon Guys,
Thanks for all the comments !

I didnt make it up there this weekend but Aunt Mary fowarded a couple of shots from a couple of days ago...

The weather hasnt been too cooperative lately with all the rain and thunderstorms, but the boys are makin some progress...

I believe that they started sheathing the roof only to have it open up with a downpour on saturday, so they tarped it up and called it a day..... hopefully next weeks weather will be better !

Do you have any idea how long it took me to save for this project ?

That makes it all the more worthwhile doesn't it Scotty? If it was easy you probably wouldn't appreciate the finished product as much. I'm really enjoying the pics.

Nice weather we are having. I was all set to pour on Saturday. Thursday I was watching the weather on WCAX 3.2 and they were saying it was only the second day of the month in which we weren't going to get rain. Funny thing was it was raining out as he was saying it. By Friday afternoon I had to call it off because the rain that was going to move in late on Saturday had changed to rain in the morning. We'll see how this weekend looks and try again. Be thankful you got past the concrete phase and the rain isn't as big of a deal.

Good Evenin Oleozz,

Good Evenin Al,
Yes as I understand it, my guys are getting plaqued with rain up there also !

I got a call today from my Uncle Dave, one of the guys working on the barn is layed off and was wondering if I would want him to stain the peaks while they have the scaffolding up... I jumped on that for $20 bucks an hour ! I cant get up there until the 25th due to obligations down here, and when I do get there I have to mow off those fields, so that was the big news today !

Good luck with your weather Al, I know you must be anxious to get that slab poured !

Good Evenin Guys,
Just a couple of shots of what Al and myself, actually I should say my guys are putting up with as far as the rains this year !

Im really hopin for some sunshine soon.....

Looking good Scotty! I like those windows across what I guess will be your wood working shop gable end.
Dave.
