Raising a barn

Thanks japody, it was a lot of work, but well worth the effort.:thumbsup:

Kyle,
Not really sure, I know in the dead of winter the snow slides off usually while it's snowing or within a day even when it's single digit cold. There are times the snow sticks on the awning roof for a few days but only towards the middle of the barn, the ends always slide off. Not sure why. The south end of the barn does get warmer because the sun hitting the metal and heating it up. That is one of the reasons I went with darker colors. I figured I could open the doors in the summer and cool the barn down if I need to work in there. It works good since the barn has north/south doors and that's usually where the wind comes from.

I am very pleased with it. I know whenever I take someone in there for the first time, the first word out of their mouth is "wow". Everytime.

If I had to do it over I would have built it 8' longer with the post on 10' centers. Only because it would have worked out better with the fencing.

Outstanding!!! You've created an amazing space that seems to be the perfect size for your needs. The only criticism that I have is that you need to mount those elk antlers on the wall somewhere better then sitting on that cabinet.

Eddie I was sitting in one of those white chairs (in the pictures) just yesterday thinking the same thing about the elk antlers.

Kevin, when I said my wife thinks she is a barn widow, I was not kidding. Sometimes I just sit and look out the south door and watch the hay grow with the radio on. I'll have to find a picture of the cows.

With a view like that, I could watch the grass grow.

Kevin, if you are out there; here's a couple calves. The one with some red is very friendly. He follows me around like a dog.
