I hope so Michael. Shell agrees that it sorta looks like it grew there and fills the space nicely. Not sure when classes begin. Fall friends gathering?!? How many locals wanna come break it in for a weekend?

Holler when you're ready.

I'm imagining a picture of you smiling with a new Osage bow and in the background is the corner of your shed propped up with a 2x4 ;D ;D

That's funny DC!  ;D

Paul, I am already planning to build a picnic table with some live edge, but doubt I use Osage.

That's looking great, Scott.  Really like those hedge poles.  Especially the one that's cattywampus.  Looks really good.

Thanks Stevo! I agree they give it a touch of class!

Had a chance to put half the metal on today. This side faces away from the house so I'm not worried about the metal being different colors.

Thanks guys! I reckon this is about the end of the build along.



If you look close you can see a lot of crooked lines and gaps, but it's solid and oughta stand a few seasons. I will add a few pieces of trim on the corners and probably build some work stations, but otherwise I'm calling it. The final tally was under $500 for a 24'x24' barn. I could always add on and I'm sure I will for years to come. The best part is the way it fits the land and me. I believe my grampa woulda been proud of it, and that makes me smile.







Thanks fer following!

Gonna put pea stone down inside, scooter? Might be a good way to keep mud at bay.

Very nice and quick work on the barn.  Are you setting a couple of vise posts?

Nice, Scott. Don't worry about the gaps. You need the ventilation anyway.  :OK
