Thought I'd pass along some progress pictures. I had some help pouring the concrete, but otherwise I have done everything by myself. First level walls. With the floor on. Covered End wall in place. Trusses going up. Other end wall in place Covering it the first time. Overhangs built, and starting to insulate and sheet it again Covered and waiting for steel roofing Interior picture.

Cost to just build with no insulation/wiring/plumbing/finishing work, I would guess about 30,000 for materials. I don't know for sure how much I'll have in it total when I finish the apartment. Depends on how fancy I get. David [Reply]  [No Email]

I love the shape and design of your old barns, but I dare not mention building something similar here as our building control would have a fit....We have to stay traditional, then something different comes along and what was traditional is no longer correct, but they push you towards the new idea/ design. Unfortunately they have not been on holiday in America to see the design of these buildings. Sam [Reply]  [No Email]

Just drove around asking if I could see their barn, and take some measurements. From there, just made up my own plans. David [Reply]  [No Email]
