    Busted water line... new insulation

    As of now, I'm fixing just this section of the barn and not putting the water lines back. Just got done removing the sink. From what I can tell, yes, the other walls are insulated.

    Busted water line... new insulation

    Welp... there is no vapor barrier in the walls. Metal exterior, air gap, then frame with some insulation in between the posts. I know there is a vapor barrier at least in the ceiling because I can see in the attic. As of right now, I wont be fixing it right this second as it is 10 deg...

    Busted water line... new insulation

    I will be removing the pipes. It will just be a workbench and the wall. It's actually not bad but I'm all for making it better. I'll get better pics once I get the counter top and sink out this weekend

    Busted water line... new insulation

    It's the basic sheet metal. Not really sure how to tell the difference. Any particular thickness of foam is minimum recommendation?

    Busted water line... new insulation

    The sink wall is the exterior wall. Pink insulation is the wall against the bathroom. I will be removing the sink and the pex line going to it. I'm looking to redo the insulation.

    Busted water line... new insulation

    Well, this cold broke a line in my barn here in NE Indiana. Luckily, I was going to remove the sink and countertop anyways. However, it did get to the insulation. I'm not impressed on how the PO did it and thinking about adding rigid foam board in addition to replacing the batts. I'm not...

    Brainstorming future expansion (How to add onto an existing barn?)

    I own the acre to the south. The acre to the west is to square off the property and prevent any neighborhoods popping up too close behind me. The offset from the property line is something I am looking into. I am just trying to figure structurally how to expand.

    Brainstorming future expansion (How to add onto an existing barn?)

    I bought the place with a 64x40 pole barn about 2 years ago, and I am loving it. It is used to store my cars and where I can work on them. Winter time gets a little tight with my parents parking their 55 Belair and 82 RX-7, and I am not thrilled about the south facing garage door currently in...

    Pole Barn Roof Leak Fix?

    It looks ok, but I have a bag full of fasteners from replacing sheets on the side of the barn. I'm assuming those are the same size.

    Pole Barn Roof Leak Fix?

    It's a metal roof. I think I find it. A screw is popped up. Other than just screwing it in. Any other suggestions? I have about another 4 hrs till the next rain comes in.

    Pole Barn Roof Leak Fix?

    I replaced my garage door seals on the barn today while the house was getting new windows installed. We finally got our first rain here in Indiana in a while. I went out to check the seals to make sure I did not make it worse. Everything looked good except one spot which was odd. I looked...

    Hi everyone, Thanks for the feedback. I'm pulling the trigger on an Advantage 9000 HD. However, the install part is a new question. To have them come and install it will be $2k versus me picking it up at a local freight for $600. They have videos on how to assemble it yourself and I'm...
