| I've often said that there's a real feeling of satisfaction with the sound of rain on a new roof.

| Looks like a nice straight barn. Too bad if it was to rot away. Love that metal roofing, snow won't stay on it and it will last a lot longer than asphalt shingles. Seeing a lot of it up here in Maine.

| Thank you for preserving it. Lots of old barns are going down around here through neglect. Once the roofing starts to go, it's only a matter of time before the interior structure is crumbling down. Realize many of the old barns are not terribly useful in today's modern agriculture where you need a large warehouse to even get your tractor in, but I sure hate to see the old ones falling down. They're a part of history!

| Now 15 gals of red barn paint thinned with 5 gals of linseed oil and it will sparkle.

| Looks like a good solid straight old barn. You got the roof on just in time. They don't last long without a good roof and you'll have good dry storage for a long time at reasonable expense.

| Nicely done! My old barn got standing metal seem in 1996 on the west side, 2001 on the east side. If I hadn't done that it would be gone by now.

| One piece sheets, 25 to 30 ft long ? Really looks nice. We use a product called Galvalume here. Is that painted metal or something like strong panel? Screwed down or nailed ?
