We bought the pews for our wedding. I think there were about 15 or 16 or them. We bought them from a small church that had switched to individual chairs for more flexibility. I sold them all individually online and more than doubled pour money. HaHa!

Hello everyone, Sorry I have not posted any updates for so long. After my last post I started installing foam board on the walls to prep for spray foam. I was traveling a lot and things were going pretty slow. I didn't get very far before my dad went to the hospital around Thanksgiving 2016. He...

Im starting to get things moved in. There is still a lot of stuff from the wedding that we are selling off. I can't wait to get the big stuff moved in and run some 220.

This pic is the first time I actually had a vehicle in the shop. It had a bad misfire in #7 Cyl. Fresh plugs and wires got it running like new.

Thanks, Ron I went off the grid for a while but I finally have some updated pics. Things were really down to the last minute trying to finish up for the wedding but we pulled it off. Now everything the contractor was doing is finished and its up to me from here.

I know I have been slacking on updates but things have been very busy. I feel like I haven't had any time to just relax lately. There has been a lot of progress. Were down to just needing metal on the ends and getting doors up. The contractor said the three garage doors should go in tomorrow and...

Hey Kevin, Thanks for the warm welcome. I think the size will work well for what I am doing with it. Everyone says no matter how big you think you need, make it bigger. I wish I could have added a few feet in either direction but that would have been too much. I had to make some sacrifices to...

They had a crew out today trying to get some more metal wrapped up. They got the front section of roof almost completed and started on the wainscoting before it started to rain. We need the rain bad because the grass is turning brown but I would not have been mad if it had held off a few more hours.

We now have the beginnings of a roof. Trusses went up this past Tuesday. Then a couple of days of not much going on. Now the metal has shown up and I hope to see lots of progress. Tomorrow is calling for rain but the General contracter said if it holds off he is going to try to get some more...

The entire slab is 6 inches thick. The concrete contractor that did it is definately not the cheapest in town but not the most expensive either. That price includes the site prep, around 12" of stone under the entire slab, 100 or so sheets of 2" foam, plus the Pex and rough plumbing for the...

Im not sure what product they used. It was sprayed the same day the slab was poured. They are supposed to come back and apply a second coat after 30 days. Ill ask and let you know. I am happy with the finish it gave the slab. I was a little worried when I read stories online about fibers...

One guy was working this past weekend to get the septic finished. Even on Sunday. He is a sub that lives down the street. If the rest of the crew worked as hard this thing would have been done four months ago. So far him and his buddy are the only people that have worked any weekends. It is a...

I have been working a lot so I am behind on posting pics. We are ready for trusses so that will be a big step. They arrived last Friday but they can't get the crane here until tomorrow. The weather is supposed to be good so I am hoping they can get them all set. Metal is supposed to arrive this...

It is all about where you are in life. I sir am jealous of your avatar :drool: but I am currently driving my bone stock 2008 silverado with 180,000 miles because it is paid off. I have sold off pretty much all of my toys to allow me to build my dream barn that will hopefully someday allow me to...
