The idea/plan that started this project. |
|
Holes.. The whole barn started with holes... |
|
More holes... |
|
Posts, lots of Posts... Took 2 tries to get the corners square (well to 1/2") then a day to plumb all the posts. Took another whole day to mix the concrete for the posts. |
|
Rafters, and More Rafters. One rafter every 24" |
|
Roof Pitch is about 2.5 rise for 12 run. Would have liked it to be a bit steaper, but placed center post too deep in ground. But there is a nice 32" overhang in the front and rear of the building. |
|
On the rafters are run 1"x4" purlins every 18". That should be able to support the roof. |
|
And the roofing material finally begins to go up. It was a long weekend to get from hanging the rafters to putting up the roof material. We are trying an Ondura roofing material. Here is a link to their website for more info on it http://www.ondura.com/. |
|
A look at the skylights from the bottoms. This is why we have big white squares in the roof. To let light into the barn. |
|
The concrete guys |
|
They started work the day after bidding for the job |
|
|
|
The cupola on top the barn. After listening to someone say they wanted a cupola for years, when it came time to build one, I was told I didn't have too... Ya, right... |
|
Working on installing the 3/4" plywood that will form the inside walls to the runin sheds. |
|
A first look at the siding up. Well, all pieces were primed before hanging them. After hanging them, the siding was 4 different colors (because we had to keep getting more primer). And the barn was blue instead of grey. |
|
A look at the barn with the doors closed. The barn was also repainted to be a nice grey, instead of blue. |
|
Now you can see where the doors were. They are sliding doors, and yes they are hanging against the wall, even though you can't really seem them. Sooner or later, I'll get the trim up so you can see them more. |
|
A look at the inside of the barn. Another building to clean. |
|
A look to the back side of the barn. This area will be filled with Hay come winter. |
|
A look at the rear runin shed. |

A look at the side runin shed. |
