Oldskool 6,585 #279 Posted October 11, 2022 I could see a ring of rocks off to the side with a flag pole in it for a Wheel Horse flag. 😁😁 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where might we put something like that? I'm going to need some sort of a drawing here. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 63,561 #281 Posted October 11, 2022 Well people we got stairs!! The BBT and I had to go up and get view pics. Here's the best. Out the back. There will be 15 feet wide of windows of the 18 total. This is out the front. One 60" window on each side with a 4 or 5 foot solid wall in between. That wall will be opened up to a door AFTER the code inspection is passed. Out the front off to the left. Rail for the front door and the (3) 6 x 6 PT upper support posts are new today as well. 1 11 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The builder normally figures four to six weeks in an average year with average help and they've been running on the strong side of that. Coupled with delayed availability of product and the fact that this is a slightly larger building than normal I was figuring eight solid weeks for sure. Looks like it's going to be more like 5. The weather and ordering times have been very much in our favor so far. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 63,561 #285 Posted October 12, 2022 Trim on the shed roofs today. Trina painted the front of that to match the top this evening. Also built the front wall. One window on each side. Solid wall in the center. After they're done we'll turn that solid wall into a door/doors(?). The back will be all windows with no solid wall in the center. 5 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sjoemie himself 2,930 #286 Posted October 13, 2022 Looking good! You'll have some really nice views up there. If the dojo thing doesn't work out you can always make two bedrooms up there and rent it out as a B&B 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 63,561 #290 Posted October 13, 2022 First thing this morning they started out by moving the people lift basket machine by way of trimming some insect nests so Trina could burn em. After that they cut all the boards for the back wall while they were waiting for the metal roofing to arrive. When the load got here they commenced to hanging steel. The lumber they moved to be under the roof will be used to make rolling doors. That's the intended task for tomorrow. Under cover. Out of the rain. 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SylvanLakeWH 24,318 #295 Posted October 14, 2022 Wow… Do you need someone to clean the barn? Permanent like…? I’d take up no more than 150 sq ft max. Pay me with the occasional (ok routine) trail ride and a few adult beverages… I’d be good… promise… 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lee1977 6,309 #298 Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) Is therer a door above in the back with a beam above to lift in large equipment. You might need more Wheel Horse storage if you keep buying like you have been. Edited October 14, 2022 by Lee1977 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only tractors in this building at any time are either the snow horses waiting to be put to use or repairs and maintenance in the back shop. There will be a full size swing out door built into the front of the building. Possibly a small one in the back. Doubtful that we will use a crane or lift of any kind but that is open to change in the future. There's nothing that needs to be upstairs that we can't bring up manually. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
