Thank's Rossi. I can't even walk in the barn without my wife telling me, "I better not see no nails pounded in or any of your junk hanging on the walls.....we used to have another barn that was a barn that was used for the real purpose of housing animals. I liked it but that's another story.
Just a suggestion for Jason before he finishes up the job. Look around before you buy regular expensive lumber to finish the inside.
Here in the Northeast.....and Jason's territory......we have a fair amount of independent sawmills......pretty much set up like Pitchy's..........most are powered by diesel engines taken from Kenworth's, Peterbuilts, etc. Anyway, they saw the logs that are indignant to the area and around here we have plenty of oak. Might be prohibitively expensive in the West unless your name is Trump.
We told the builders we wanted the bottom part of the barn.......excluding two 12x22 rooms......to be lined with rough cut oak.....16 x 8 x 1 and 1/2". It's fresh and wet when nstalled ....I saved about 30 boards.....can't even lift one board...have to drag it......anyway, it will take a class 5 hurricane to knock over this barn.
We had the two 12x22 rooms done in knotty pile and insulated. Feels like air conditioning in those rooms in the summer.
Cement floor in the two rooms and packed quarry dust in the main area.
