Pole Barn Build, 40x50x12

im new here, dont mean to be pushy by any means, but can we get an update please?

Not being pushy at all. We busted our butts so hard and so long in the heat of a tn summer that I got a little burn out. After we got it roofed we have slacked off. Been back out there maybe 1/2 a dozen times or so to work since then. When we have went, we have been digging dirt out of where my future basement is going to be and moving it inside the garage to get it leveled up. Not real exciting...

I am hoping to get my motivation back real soon.

thanks for your interest!

Small update. We decided to start working on the sides while weather was nice. We got one side covered in OSB today. Went nice and smooth once we got into the swing of things.

Sorry for the low quality, only had my phone and not my 15 megapixel DSLR, makes a difference...

2nd wall nearly done. A lot slower than wall #1.

We got the two sides we have OSB on covered with Tyvek today. We wanted to get this done because we are expecting some rain the next couple of days. This stuff goes up pretty easy, nice change from the previous steps.

We have slowed down for the winter and holidays around here but we went out today and put one of the windows in.

Make sure you put bichuthane around the windows on both sides and top. Not on the bottom. Tyvek is awesome, however it does not breathe so if any water gets behind it the first place it causes rot and mold is around the windows due to moisture in cold weather.

Bichuthane, in strips 4-6inches side, will prevent this from happening. Put the side strips on first then overlap the top. You will be years ahead on rot and moisture.

Do the same around doors. Do not seal the bottoms as this will allow rain/moisture to escape.

Good looking barn. I am building one too but not as far along as you. Winter showed up here in force so have to wait for spring now. Looks good.
