What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Intend to slide the big ones (12'-6"High X10' Wide) and the horse stall doors as well. Swing the loft doors and an insulated exterior for the man door into tack room.

 

You thought you got rid of me
All's good on the southern front - twisters stayed northwest of us

Got a couple good turdflotahs to put out the fire up the mountain, more rain and strong storms in the forecast so hopefully we'll climb out of the drought.

 

Gasifier not trying to tell ya what to do ... have you considered roll up for the loft.. I did on my barn and love it.. my swing doors were always banging... wind catching them etc... just a thought..

 

More progress today.

From the road:

And around to the last side, the end facing the house.


I also went into the back yard and removed all rocks and back-dragged the area where we ran/dug the ditch for electrical and water to barn. A big relief to get that in decent shape before hard freeze hits.

 

Gas are you planning on battens at a future date or the house wrap for now?

 

I understand that my friend. And I appreciate the suggestion. I mentioned that to a couple people helping me with the barn. Two concerns. First is the cost. Second is the look. Right now I am out of money. Like always, I end up spending more than I thought!

 

Battens go over all siding. House wrap only goes where small tack room is. We wrapped the outside two walls with the wrap and that gets covered with same siding and battens. Inside two walls will also get wrap and then covered with siding.

 

10-4, hard to see the battens in the picture resolution
awesome job by the way

 

Very hard to see! Battens are not on yet.

 

I am glad your safe...I was a little like wondering...

Heck no....with all that safety gear you're wearing in your avatar, we just knew you'd be alright!!

 

Also...."You know, it's been awhile since someone has won big money..." Repeat that a couple times.....

 

Gasifier cheapest barn door roller system is unistrut with trolleys designed to ride in them. Works great and cheaper than heavy duty hinges nevermind the real barn door hardware. McMaster Carr carries all the HW with load ratings and such.

On another note, this is what my boot repair looks like. Went with Tuff Toe and it reminds me of a chocolate coated ice cream bar. Definitely not wearing these to the prom, but whatever.

 

kinda looks like sliding to a stop up against the chit pile, but it'll work for sure......................................

 

Na na na boo boo, stick your boots in doodoo!

Mcmaster Carr is great as they have everything. However, you can nearly always find a better deal on it elsewhere if you don't need it ASAP, and you can do some research.
