I can not believe construction is getting ready to start on my barn. I've waited a long time. Lots of trees have to come down first. If it ever drys up, they'll get started. I hope it will measure up to some I've seen on here. I have secretly stolen lots of ideas, came up with a plan and got things going...So wish me luck. I'll post updates as it happens.

SW Ohio is where we are. We were at church tonite and I talked with a tree guy there. He wants all the wood for firewood. We're starting with ~40 trees. All different sizes of course. I will post pix as they come. See ya all.

Thought there was only about 40 trees to come down but it looks more like sixty or more. The foundation guy is showing up soon. :)

Not really. It's just 20D x 32W, two story. I don't do any mechanic work so it's just for storing my truck and tractor mainly. It wil have two 9x7 garage doors (that look like barn doors) along with two service doors on the front. One picture window on the side and two smaller windows upstairs. I will eventually add a porch on one end and a carport on the on the other. I have a Sinclair gas pump and some more goodies to add to it also. It will not be a "mahall" but it will be great for me. I'm headed out to get some pix now, from where they cut some of the trees. Beavo, I was in your neck of the woods this past week. Bought a seat for the truck. Thanks for checking.

Hey Beavo. I'm out of Germantown. I also tried to load some pix, but I keep getting an "error" due to something. I will try later. The tree guys are here again.

We're actually SW of Dayton. ~15/20 min from Indiana. We live out in the country with 5 acres. That's enuf for me. It's mostly woods tho which helps with the mowing. I hope we can get restarted working by Friday. :thumbup:

Looks like the rain may slow down for a week or two. I sure do hope so.

I swear. I still can't get pictures to load. It keeps saying there's an error. I will really try to though. By the way, the barn is turning out great. If anyone can help, I sure would appreciate it. Later.
I tried again but nuthin'. It says there's a security token missing. I have no idea what that means, so I'm sorry. Maybe I'll get them up soon.
