ebinmaine 67,261 #334 Posted October 20, 2022 We're getting the pine siding put on the back of the barn today. Already been painted green so the real scheme of color is there. Looks absolutely fantastic!! 6 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,261 #335 Posted October 21, 2022 Today's fun for the builders was installing the clay colored trim around the edges of the metal roof and working on the pine siding some more. After this they'll move to the front. Install green painted boards on the upper floor just like they did at the back here. Whatever painted boards are left will be installed on lower portions where we can reach easily with a paintbrush or roller. 2 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,039 #336 Posted October 21, 2022 I'm really liking the color combination. Different but it looks great. 👌 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trina came up with the color combo with a few choices here and there and between the two of us this is where we ended up. We opted to go with a more docile color scheme instead of repeating the eye catching nature of the house. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It'll certainly be much more camouflaged. We went to blending colors looking for just that. We wish it was on the property back far enough to be completely out of vision from the road. House too. We thought about putting it back more but of course excavation costs would have been too high. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,261 #343 Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) Some neat stuff done today. We requested that the builders make our smaller "people doors" instead of buying them. Both doorways are cut in and built. One door is built. These critter blocker boards were put in all the way down both sides. There will be a (1 x 6?) Next to them to finish the keep-em-out procedure. And the most awesomerer of today's work... Stair rails. Edited October 24, 2022 by ebinmaine 5 8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 9,981 #344 Posted October 25, 2022 Just a thought, Eric. Have you thought about a trap door in the upstairs floor? With a hoist above it for lifting heavy or bulky things up there. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With a hoist above it for lifting BULKY things up there. . Shhh.... Definitely. Not sure if I've mentioned it back in this thread or not. It doesn't pass building code so Trina and I may or may not possibly soon or never make one AFTER the crew leaves and the Code Enforcement Officer signs off. Maybe. IIFF we do make a hole it would be for long things (boards etc) that don't fit up the stairs. Nothing upstairs will be so heavy we can't carry it up the stairs. 2 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Need to redirect the forces to adjacent trusses with proper structures. Easier to put a hatchway into an exterior wall at the back or front, really, and hang a hoist support above it, if needed.

What I'm talking about is a doorway in an exterior wall on the second floor. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 11,349 #348 Posted October 25, 2022 What types of windows are you using do they have a nailing flange, normally you would put the windows in and then the siding over the nailing flanges to prevent leaks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dunno. Haven't seen them yet. It'll be very soon they're installed. I'll try to have them take "in progress" pics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
