Yea yea, I know. A bit neat and tidy, but the end product gives me a lawn that looks like it was never disturbed. Appreciate the comments. Not sure how the innards will shake out yet.

Board and batton siding is a product of Menards... Timbercrest / Sandstone. Pretty easy to install.

As do you!!! Nice looking barn you have as well. Quite a bit larger for sure. Wish I had your high center door.

Thanks! Kind words.

Timbercrest Sandstone I believe.

Bought everything when "On sale" at Menards. Are you near Menards? Familiar with it? They help with all the design work and do a complete project material list with costs. I gave them my hand-drawn plans, and we went from there. I'm not a builder, I'm an elementary classroom teacher...

Prroducts all come from "special order" at Menards. If you are truly interested, I can go ck out the product names and colors, etc. Let me know.

Thanks! And yup, around these parts of N.A. we call 'em Adirondacks. These were built by a guy in our area. Most solid Adirondacks I've ever seen. 2 x 6's, screws, glue, and such. $200 for the pair! :thumbup:

Thanks, my Hoosier friend. See you're from Greentown. Our daughter and family live in Greenfield, east of Indy. We live here in Hamilton, MI in a sub called Greenfield Estates. I'm a Spartan fan... Go Green!

Hey, I remember you and your barn project down there in Arkansas. I spent quite a while looking at your project not too long ago. I was amazed and very drawn to the story as you progressed. I like it! I think it turned out very very nice. Congrats on the project so far.

Thanks for the encouragement, CNGsaves! Appreciate it. The cupola is NOT functioal. Ridge vent will do the job.

Gracious words! Working by yourself, if time permits, gives you full control of the outcome. I like that.

Thank-you for the kind words! I think detail is what brings a building project to the next level of appeal and satisfaction.

I retired from public education after 38 years. Been out 3 years now.

Are you building? Or are you done with something similar?
