Him and I did some prework and he laid out the plate and built the headers Friday and I cut 76 2x4's to 11' 9''.Him and 5 other mostly carpenters had this all erected by 1:30p and they started at 7am!

It looks like the horses are wondering if you could leave the door open on that tonight.

They're going to set trusses this Saturday. There is also a 15x35 open carport like area on one end and 3 of us put up the 3 laminated beams on temp posts and dug and poured 3 piers using 12" dia sono tubes and poured concrete in them which required 16 bags of pre-mix. The trusses are dropped down 2' from main building on this part. It's looking real good at this point and the weather is moderating and sat looks like go time.

A nice looking project building. With extra side storage roofs you will have lots of shelter for equipment.

Are you situated very near Hwy 97 ? My place is right on the Hwy., the house and workshop are set back about 400 yds and makes for a lot of snow clearing. Am off to clear my driveway today after two 12" plus, dumps of snow - grrrr! At least now the temperatures are reasonable at -8C/20F and driving the open station tractor makes for a good appetite come lunchtime.
Your building looks real good with the red siding. You will really appreciate having the extra building during the winter and the horses will thank you for it too, I am sure.
Cheers

Wow, looks great!

Nice looking barn! I'm working on my plans, and there are some great ideas in how you designed yours.

Thanks for sharing.

The two-toned siding makes it more difficult along with the one foot overhang.

Looks good. That is the opposite color combo to what I did. I did red as the main wall color.
