Sunny Days = Progress!

 I am a happy camper today....for a couple of amazing reasons: 

Happy Camper Reason #1....ROOF
Houston, we have a roof!  Yes, that's right, the roof on The Barn is complete!  It's a fabulous thing and it gives life to The Barn.  It's a good thing we got done when we did because today we have wind gusts of a gazillion miles per hour.  Here are a few progression pictures:

Here we are halfway done with the roof.

Roof is Complete!

Happy Camper Reason #2....SIDING
The very first piece of siding went up!  Hooray...I've been staring at this gorgeous pile of Oak (yes I said Oak) siding for months now, and I finally get to dive into it and put it on The Barn.  One freaking heavy piece at a time!  Who needs a gym membership when you're building a barn.  I'm so banged up, bruised, and sore....but by golly, I'll have some strong muscles after all this is done.  Plus, we don't really have to worry about the wind when putting up siding.  Whereas on the roof, one gust of wind and we would have to call it quits, or else become a human kite!

That gorgeous Oak Siding!

So the next couple of weeks will be dedicated to siding, siding and more siding.  I can't wait to share pics when we get lots of it up.  This is going to transform this barn into what we all are dreaming of...a rustic, old-looking barn.

Stay tuned for more pics in the upcoming weeks.  It's coming along nicely folks....

That's all for now barn heads!!
