Pictures will explain my question better than words, but I'm working on a barn renovation and I started with the "lean-to" style shed roof addition. I've replaced the roof for this section and re-framed the rotted out back wall. In the process of redoing the roof, I added a 1' gable overhang to...

That's the plan. I have a bunch of plain shiplap already so I'd like to put it to use. It's very common around here for barns to have vertical siding (whether it be board and batten, some form of lap board siding, or metal made to look like vertical siding), but of course these older farm...

New guy here with a barn restoration project incoming. I've started a thread on it in the general forum and will be updating it there. Already perused through the "what would you do differently" thread and have a list of notes of things I want to incorporate into the build. Looks like a...

Hey everyone! Barn Album Link: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/album.php?albumid=7164 https://imgur.com/a/CJdFFAk Brand new here, but I figured I'd share my prospective project with everyone and see if anyone has tips/ideas/inspiration for me as I finish up the planning stage and get...
