Then on to the 1"x 5" flooring which was some nasty stuff, just imagine what all can accumulate between each board in over 100+ years of farm family usage. There was also several hundred LF of 3/4 x 6 wallboards, painted and unpainted that I'm not finding pictures of.... See the years of...

I am way behind on progress of the office area build out due pretty much to spending all my days working in at it and too tired at night to post. So will try and catch up a bit with mostly pictures and little text. After completing the rough wiring and insulation I set about cleaning all the...

Actually yea, VERY fair! At first, I bought a small amount from her at high but normal prices. As time went on we became friends and the more I bought and she wasn't selling as quickly as she had hoped, I ended up buying all the rest she had at a huge discount. I was truly impressed at all the...

Some of the materials you'll be seeing used in the upcoming posts of the office area build out. I found it on Craigslist. A young mom was deconstructing her great grandmothers house that was built in the late 1800's. I am only now beginning to appreciate how well she cleaned it of most of the...

Added some insulation over the newly installed ceiling, salvaged blue board and R-13...

not familiar with these, clamps to keep you from falling off your bar stool I suppose?

thanks capn! "How much massaging did you have to do on the beadboard ceiling" haha, you've installed old beadboard before!? lol Making sure the groove is clean and not buggered up before attempting to put in place is critical. Same with the tongue. "How far did you travel on the wheeled...

It was fun putting together. Not sure how long it's going to take for the taste of the plumbers putty taste to go away though.... Thanks, "dude"... Appreciate that Jay! Good point, I'm probably going with a piece of 1/4" steel as you suggested.. Maybe do some "engine turning" with a...

So, I thought I had posted pictures of the ceiling in the shop area built out of the beadboard I had spent days cleaning but not finding it so .... Here are the ones that were painted green being installed in the front most section of the shop area. . First had to add some additional 2x6...

Added a shelf and some galvanized tin to the backsplash... built a faucet out of 1/2" pipe and fittings. Had an old school plumber friend thread some long ******* for the bottom to get it through the butcher block and I thought long enough to easily tie the supply line onto. They were long...

I am considering adding a 4 ft wide metal piece to the top of the butcher block at the cut out area of the cabinets, 1/4" steel, heavy gauge stainless or galvanized....anybody have thoughts on that

This bay in front of the work benches will be storage for whichever car needs work. First will likely be the '54 Century which currently need rear axle seals. Haven't really given a lot of thought to what all will be stored in them, just figure "build it they will come" coming up..... ;)

Before installing the sink I had cut out and sealed the edges with poly to prevent any possible future water intrusion from swelling the wood. I sealed the butcher block with black Watco Butcher Block stain and sealer and will be applying tung oil over that. Which reminds...

Aww, thanks my friend! To be honest, I'm still not real happy with the color of the cabinets but hell it's just a pole barn, they'll do. They look better as I add more around them and should blend in better when I give the walls a coat of satin poly. Thanks for the kind words about my back. I...

Ran some 2x’s along the wall in order to be able to feather out and get the cabinets in a straight line and to also cut down on the front overhang of the planned butcher block top. Then had to make some new adjustable legs to replace some of the missing and bent ones. Ran up on...

happened to click on the link I had posted to the primer and got this so have edited out the link here is what the link was to...

ordered six cans of (edit-see below) and will be using the Krylon Regal Blue, will report back on how it works. Thanks all for the input.

Gorgeous @PugetDude, awesome job!!!! Very unique counter and backsplash design too. Our kitchen cabinets are beadboard and old sand glass.

Then to get them stained to match the barn doors... this first shot missed a bit... let's try this... much better, and will have to do... Tied them together with a top shelf with beaded rail.

more catchup.... While I was happy with the all wood cabinets I had gotten from a cabinet shop in Atlanta I wasn’t happy with the looks of the fake plywood Beadboard paneled doors. Another trip to Lowe’s got me some nice 3 1/2 inch x 8’ knotty pine Beadboard plank. My goal from the...
