Well. for some reason my wife didn't appeciate what i was using her barn for, (see pic below). And she decided it was time for Russell to build her a new barn since he hadn't ever expanded the old one. She is giving me the old barn for a shed/junk house, but i must complete new barn and keep my junk out of it.
Old barn, built approx 3 years ago, yeah it's poorly constructed, but it cost me less than 700 to construct included new tin for roof and a 12x12 concrete slab. Only thing i know how to build are pole buildings.
Now here is the new one, It's much further along now, rain kept me from takin new pics. Not going to be a CADILAC BARN like Donny M's, but it'll be good enough for me to convert into a shop when wife outgrows it......gotta think ahead.
Hopefully if weather warms up, i can fisnish tin and pour the tack room slab and frame it up. The walls are lathed now, and i got a load of logs ready to go to the sawmill for the siding.
