My pole barn...a solo affair

Thanks! Yeah, that's the word I was fishing for! Been short on sleep this week with all this going on. I called a wheelbarrow, the other day, "lawnmower".

It started falling apart years ago. I thought I installed it wrong, until I went into the roof truss, where the leftover roll of insulation was stored. I grabbed the roll and it crumbled. Three years ago, Mueller's manager was gonna come out to warranty it, then their building got taken out by a tornado, so I sat on my thumbs. I found out yesterday it had a 10 year guarantee. 10 years was up 3 years ago.

A couple more progress photos. Took awhile today thinking how to put in the walkthru door. The main power conduit from the house comes up thru the concrete by the corner post where I want to hang the door. So I will box around it with 2bys.

I love to see a plan come together... and I am with Eddy... can't have too much storage to keep things out of the elements.

My brothers in-laws still own a little farm in rural Illinois and one thing I noticed from the pictures... an abundance of barns... nothing is left outside ever.

That's disappointing about Mueller and how quickly it fell apart. But on the happy side, if you ever want to spray closed cell foam, it's not going to be in the way!!!!

Made a little more progress Saturday. I got the walk-thru-door installed and tin up to the door.
