New Pole Barn Started

[scaredychicken]

Sounds a LOT like my plans for a 30 x 40 ft Barn next year.

For several 100 chickens, 20 ducks, 1 - 2 horses, donkey, rabbits, goats ... and storage for supplies and equipment.

My workshop will remain in the garage

I want a washroom, or need an outhouse; to avoid a 400 foot return to the house. (1 bathroom there).

Exciting times for you

Got in 3 more hours of work in between thunderstorms. Installed the soffits, fascia trim, rake edge trim and roof cap. Need about an hour to finish the wall panels, but the weather did not cooperate. There may be a 1-2 hour window without rain this evening.

nice work

There will be a sink and a spigot for watering the animals, but no bathroom. You'll have to walk 75 feet back to the house for that!

Only if you’re female!

Remnants of hurricane Elsa dumped 4” of rain on us overnight and this morning but by 1pm the sun was out. Finished the south side of the barn and got half the soffits and roof trim completed on the north end.

The unfinished strip 12’ up on the south side is where the roof rafters will attach for the two 12x32 covered parking spots for my two trailers and other equip.

More progress today. Finished the north end soffits, fascia trim, rake edge trim, roof cap, rat guard and Tyvek’d the wall in prep for the panels.

More rain overnight, finally caught a break at 10:30 this morning. Today was the last day with the lift so we needed to finish the last wall. Finished at 5:00 and it started raining again at 5:30!
