Building a Barn

Been right at 2 years since I started this project and finally finished the outside today. Still have a fair amount of work on the inside, but getting there.

All Done!!!!

That is so cool.

Looks great Dave. As an old fellar I appreciate seein a go getter like yerself preparing for the future. Well done my friend!

Really nice. I admire you for what you have done!

Nice I live in the same style of building. Yours looks a lot nicer than mine.

very nice,,,,great job

WyoDave,

In addition to a barn, didn't you acquire a bride somewhere along the way too?

Great looking building. I admire your skills.

Nice job!

I have watched you build this barn from the time you first posted on this site. You are to be commended for a job well done. One of these days when the project is finished you can back off and look at at it and say---I Did It My Way!!!

Lots of hard work but the results sure are nice.

What a great looking barn. Two years of pictures show all the seasons of you working.

It shows that when you are doing things yourself, they clearly don't happen in one weekend. Looks like you have a great view of the sunsets out the back of the barn too.

A very nice job indeed!
A great looking barn; its built in the wrong place though - it should be sitting at my place!

Good job. Congratulations. Jim

My hat's off to you. It's sad to see the old barns dying from neglect.

My admiration and my envy are boundless.

What an accomplishment! Will be excited to see the inside when its finished.

What a beautiful barn that will be the envy of anyone who sees it great job enjoy.

Really nice work; you should be proud of your new home.

Thanks for sharing your photos with us.

That is really nice, great job

Great looking barn!

Very nice work. You don't see many Gambrel style barns going up these days

Dave:

Now that you have the 'HOUSE' finished, when are you going to build a barn? LOL

That Loft looks big enough to make a nice 3 bedroom living quarters up there.

Great job! I wish I was that talented at carpentry; I measure 4 times, cut 3 times, and it's STILL WRONG.

Doc :>)

Very nice! If you don't mind asking, what is the size of it and any pictures of the inside that it's done?

Well done, that's a nice building.

What is it's intended purpose? Doesn't look like you plan to put up loose hay in the loft, ear corn and mules down below.

Very nicely done.

There is an apartment in the top, and the bottom is just a toy shed.

David

30x48 is the size. I'll get some upstairs pictures when I get a chance, and post them.

I really like it, want to build a barn but wouldn't build myself, do you care if I ask how much did you spend in materials? Looks great you should be proud.

Wow, it looks like someone's property taxes are headed up. I hate it when that happens.

Another atta boy.
