I will enclose part of it for machine work and smaller assembly work. The rest will be for welding/fabrication and automotive. I don't specialize in anything.. I just tinker a lot and like to build and fix stuff

Just 2.26 acres for me. Another guy bought the whole farm and then split off the house and barn for me to buy.

There were window frames that had fallen open and a few gaps between roof tin and the old roof slats. Also, the screen in the cupola on top had come loose. The problem I have now is any time the large doors are open more than a few minutes, the birds come back. I will find them later that night...

Yes, the house was/is an adventure. It was built in 1890 and hasn't been lived in in many years. The foundation is stone and mortar and surprisingly sound. Only the wall supporting the abandoned chimney had settled. Plumbing was first on the list as they ran out of propane one winter and the...

The barn is not original to this property but was moved here in the 20's or 30's. It was originally a milking shed so the walls are not as tall as you might like. I currently have 102" from concrete to ceiling joists which will work well for me. Roof pitch is approximately 10:12. The hay loft...

A new metal roof was put on a few years ago and the only leaks I have found so far is when the snow blows just right it will come in through the ridge cap. I plan to get some foam stripping in there this year. The area opposite the wife's storage room will also get enclosed and I will use it for...

Before Winter set in we were able to get the first third of the floor poured so I had a place to put my stuff when we moved. All my stuff had to go somewhere so I stacked it on the part where we poured last Fall. On the right is a storage room I built for My Dear Wife. That alley wall is...

Inside facing South It is time to get ready to pour the rest of the concrete so I had to get all of my stuff out. In an earlier pic you can see 2 plywood walls on the South end that no longer serve a purpose but to break off about 8 feet of usable space on each side of the alley so I took...

The barn was a little rough inside: Inside facing South. That **** isn't mine. There was a LOT of stuff in the barn when we bought the house. This pic is after several trips to the dump. That little patch of concrete was all there was. Facing North shortly after cleaning out "the other...

Last Fall we bought an old farm house: It was a little neglected and quite overgrown. After clearing away the overgrowth: Not a bad looking house once you can actually see it. But the reason I really liked the property is because it also has a barn: it is 35x60 with roll up doors on both...

Yesterday I finally got around to running the 240v cable to the compressor in the barn.

Put one of these in it.

I use them with the plasma torch.

Same problem here in Idaho. I have a 35x60 barn that I am slowly converting to a shop/garage but insulation is definitely in the plans. The insulation has to be covered with something. Barn wood is too expensive anymore to use for covering the walls so it will be drywall or OSB (depending on...

^THIS^ (just make sure the attorney fully understands real property law) Many banks pay contractors with what they call "lien waiver" checks. However the wording on a lot of these constitute a subordination rather than a waiver which means the workman/supplier only agrees the bank lien has...

We bought a late 19th century farm house a few months ago. It hadn't been lived in for at least 10 years and was quite overgrown. After clearing away the overgrowth we found a nice little house. It has had new siding and roof but is still cool. Not as old or nice as the previous gambrel...

Bought 2 packs of soft white and 1 of daylight Wednesday. Put 2 daylights in my mill lighting. LOVE IT!! Thanks for the tip.

I have been considering this as well and want to see pics of the designs you have used in the past. :needpics:

Full length hay loft in the barn (which is the reason for all the goofy posts). The longitudinal beams/girders are (4) 2x9s. Since I no longer plan to store several ton of hay up there I need to have them checked to see what I can use as replacements so as to eliminate about half of the...
