Yes I would, but then again I am a glutten for punishment. I did not use cedar breather behind them, the sheathing is Zipwall, so it is "sealed" from that side and our house has a combo of cedar shingles and cedar clapboards on it just over typar and it is 30 years old and doing good so far, so...

And one a little closer, I hope the moderators don't kick me off the site!

Another of center bay

I can't seem to post more than one pic at a time, bear with me....

Thanks for all the kind words. It nice when something comes out pretty close to how it was drawn or planned. The inside, as you can see, has had just about nothing done to it yet. It needs insulation and sheathing andI plan to find something to hook the radiant tubing in the floor up to and...

WOW! Sunbimmer your place is just the kind of inspiration I need for the inside of mine. What a magnificent thing you are doing. I won't even try to get it that cool, but ........Man that is cool. Nice job.

There are a few pics from January of this year, right after I installed the two post lift. I didn't post all the build pics because it was pretty standard construction, the only real "fun" was stupidly standing the fully sheathed 30'x16' back wall in one piece with 4 guys and no equipment.... I...

I wanted to show off the barn. after 4 years of waiting to do the siding it's almost done. Well, the parts you can see from the house! The back has all the lower parts done from side to side ,just the upper half to do in the spring. 4 years, a new knee, a lost toe and a few thousand cedar...

Here we go...?

I was once working in a hospital on a piece of equipment up in the ceiling. To get access to it. Had to climb up on an HVAC duct about three feet wide. It was dark, quiet, and the warm duct felt just too good.... I woke up about an hour and a half later, climbed down the ladder and went to lunch!!

Good luck on the build , wicked cool barn. I'll definitely be watching. I got the 10-OHSC in November and I love it. I'm 6'-5" tall and I can get under and not have to stoop over. It's a wonderful thing. I just wish I could get to my barn now, too much snow. Oh yeah, that and it was -20F...

My wife got me a HF unit for Christmas. It holds 20 gallons I think, I would never have bought it for myself. I love it. I've yet to fill it but when it is full it hooks up to the compressor and pumps itself out. Wicked cool!

I bought a 10k lift from GS in November. I had a friend help me stand the columns, but put the rest of it together myself. The customer service at the New Hampshire location was indifferent compared to my excitement at finally getting my lift. I don't buy one every day, but the guy at the store...

Free is good, the only cost of knowledge is experience....cheap tuition at worst.

This is like a "skillsaw" , I was using nylon air line and quick connect fittings 20+ years ago in the most demanding environments, like hospitals, clean room manufacturing, and food service plants. It is available from supply companies in lots of forms, with lots of cool quick connect...
