The last Barn. (maybe)

[cat fever]

Did you pour footers under the poles? Or use premade concrete ones? We’re the poles concreted in place to hold them without bracing?

I put some sacrete under each post then filled the holes with sacrete with a hose going. My boys added the concrete while I leveled the post while making sure it was up against the string line. Not very scientific but it works.

I finally got the lights done in the barn. Each light is 18,000 lumens with 14 in the main area. I still need some plugs and lights over the work bench and the electrical work will be done for the most part.
They are very bright and I'm happy with them.

LED high bays? Are they dimmable?

I forget the name of them but they are LED. As far as I know they are not dimmable. That's no problem because I wouldn't dim them anyway.
I ordered them off Amazon and had them in 2 days.

Amazing barn build, and beautiful property. I can't see more than 20' out of my doors except forest, which is pretty in its own way.
Where do you all shoot around there? I was envisioning a range behind your barn.
Take care and be in good health, thanks for sharing.

Here is a short video of our barn build. Credit to my son Jordan for doing it.

This video popped up on my Youtube feed a few days ago. Too funny!

I have miles of National Forest just behind my house and I can shoot all I want. No need to load wheelers or side by side up just drive it right from the house.

Seems like it's taken forever but I got the metal top done for the work bench. Now I can work on some more plugs and work bench lighting.
