    The "Someday Never Comes" Farmstead and Buildings

    Hahaha :lol_hitti yeah I thought that might get to somebody. I did that same thing to my family. I said since none of you would make the decision for me, I'm not going to tell you what I decided, you can find out when it goes up. … So for the final decision I went with black and red. After I...

    The "Someday Never Comes" Farmstead and Buildings

    Now I want to walk you through the thought process I went through to decide on colors. The building was originally red with white trim and roof, and at some point the roof was resprayed in silver, so basically your traditional Midwest machine shed colors. I had always pictured the someday never...

    Life in the Barns

    Been hanging out here at your farm since you posted in my thread. Great work! Makes the small cosmetic resto I did to my barn look like small potatoes. Hopefully soon it will be able to start paying you back. Also I liked seeing the house renovation pictures. I am currently renovating the...

    The "Someday Never Comes" Farmstead and Buildings

    My Dad bought this '72 K10 in '91 or '92 and I grew up in this truck. Here is little me around the time we first got it. My dad painted it solid green in '94 and by the time I was driving in High School it was pretty much shot. It was so rusty that the rear bumper fell off one day while I was...

    The "Someday Never Comes" Farmstead and Buildings

    Not sure yet. I might park one of my projects cars in there and wait about five years so it can be a 'barn-find". Or I might get a tractor and park it in there, or let the kids get some goats or ponies to take care of. Thanks!

    Because my wife said yes! 30x40 pole building

    Glad I came across this today. My 27x54 Post-frame shell was just finished and I am going to be finishing it myself. So the insulation, wiring, heat, air lines, and workbenches all apply to what I have in front of me.

    The "Someday Never Comes" Farmstead and Buildings

    Thanks for the idea. I decided to just go ahead and build the 27x54 and I am going to put the lift in the center of it. A couple years down the road after my dad retires we are going to add on probably another 80' and consolidate his two shops into mine. When We do that I will probably move the...

    The "Someday Never Comes" Farmstead and Buildings

    Well progress has been made on the Someday Never Comes Garage! But before I get to that story, I need to tell the story of the Barn that has consumed the majority of my year. When we first bought the place in 2016 my little sister told me that she was going to get married in front of my barn...

    The "Someday Never Comes" Farmstead and Buildings

    Well I have been working on "The Barn" since this spring and have a whole story to share about that, but I have some new exciting news that will just have to come before that! The Someday Never Comes Farm has expanded! That is right, I was able to purchase the three acres immediately to the...
