Here's a view from the side. Now to finish the ends above my large rolling doors & do the rake & corner trim to get it dried in.

What kind of insulation is that, what R-value?
Wonder if I should put some on my pole barn.

My dad was here over the weekend & we bolted a beam to the bucket using the holes for the optional bolt on cutting edge & used that to move the last 3 stall fronts into position. This was sure easier than carrying them into place by myself like I did for 2 others as each front w/o wood or the door weighs about 240#.

The first 3 look like this (sorry for the bad photo but it was early in the morning). I'll get a better photo of all 6 later. With the stall fronts going up the inside is starting to look like a real horse barn.

Well, it's been a while but the West end is DONE! Including hanging the yard light.

Also have been working on the inside. Here's a shot of the stall fronts up & the wood fillers installed - 1 - 9/16 red oak treated w/linseed oil. We like the look a lot.

Wow!!
That is some nice horse barn!
I am very jealous!

Are those poles PT lumber? If so and they are exposted to the horses you will want to cover them. The chems in PT lumber is bad for them and they will lick and nibble at the posts.

Great job!
