2 days off and what do I get?!

[monstergarage87]

The nastiest sunburn on my back, sore muscles, and an extra bay on my barn!

Ok, maybe not 2 days but just about. Started on sunday with cutting the siding, putting up a drip edge, and j channel for the cut part. Poured 1 new footing since the old one pulled right out of the ground. Then yesterday got a load of stone dust and spread that out for a floor. Set my posts and put up the perlins before the sun peeked out form behind the trees. That afternoon, put up the ledger board against the side of the barn and then it was time to cut rafters. Figured out the cuts and went to work. By the time i finished that, it was time to go home. Started out early today and got the perlins up on the roof. Cut the panels to length and started screwing them down. After i finished that, i got to work on putting the sides up. Had to cut the 8' panels down and a freud metal blade in a circular saw did the job (so quick and easy, dunnon how i could have dont it without it ) When i was done with that, set a 2x6 and a sill for the door wall and pinned it in with 3' pieces of rebar. Framed out the front wall and the opening for the door then skinned it over. Now its time for a door and some trim boards and ill be all done. And back to work i go in the morning... haha

Heres some pictures too.. didnt forget about those.

Nice job , well worth the sunburn and sore muscles.

Excellent job for that time frame ! If you dont mind us asking, what was the cost ?

I plan to use that material (probably the barn red that you have on the rest of the building actually) on the exterior of my barn. I have to go up two stories and was wondering if you have any advice on how to handle the material up that high. That is, ladders with bridge between them? Or, would it really be necessary to rent a high lift?

 

[autoist]

Are you gonna paint it to match the barn?

Looks like a great job for two days of labor. What are you using this for?

Thanks, by the time im done with trim and doors on both ends, im looking at around $800? and that includes the stonedust for the base/floor.

Just need 2 people and an extension ladder. Theres a starter strip that goes along the bottom and the panel can rest on that while one person holds it steady. Then the other goes up on the ladder and screws it in on top to keep it from coming down. Then just work your way down. Its pretty simple once you start. Im sure theres an easier way but thats just how we did it.

Nope, gonna leave it that color, kind of like it and thats how the old one was when we first bought that place.

The tenant that lives in the house keeps his tractor in there because it looks like **** sitting out front for everyone to see. And then ill keep all the rest of my junk in there. Put all the stuff out there that i dont want crowding up the inside of the shop.

Well i finally got a bit more done this weekend. Yesterday i framed up the back wall and skinned it. Then built door frames for the rear doors. Today I finished trimming everything out, just need to pick up a few more 1x6s. And i finally hung the door on the front side. Think they turned out great! Hope to get some lights out there in the next week. So im almost done, need to before i go on vacation next weekend. Hope you like what ive done.

The project turned out good! The doors add a classic feel to the building. If you get a minute, could you snap a couple of pictures of how yor did the roof to wall flashing? I have a similar project in the works and that was one question I had. Thanks in advance

Very nice build! could you give a little more detail about building the doors?

 

[Possum]

Looks fantastic!

Thanks guys!

Wish i took some pictures when i built them but its pretty simple. I took some 2x4s and layed them on the flat. Toe screwed them together (before i got my pocket screw jig). Put a brace across diagonally. Then put down some construction adhesive, put beaded plywood on the outside and them stapled it down to the 2x4s. Did the same on the back with 1/2" ply to keep it all enclosed and square. Then cut out for the window and trim the ply to fit with a flush cut bit in a router. After i got that done, cut the trim to fit and left a 3/4" overlap for the door to lay over the jamb. Screwed it together with pocket screws from the back and nailed it from the front. I also left a little overhang for the window to sit against the back of the trim. So that was about it. First one took the longest with all the measurements but the second one went quick, about 3 hours after work one night.

SUPER I need to build new door for my little "New Yankee Workshop" salt box shed.

This style door would look great on her.

 

[Shocker]

Great looking addition! Can you post some closeups of how you attached it to the main building and a description? I am looking at doing something very similar and I am very interested in how you did it.

Thanks!
