Take it easy on a brother

OK, well we have manage to drag OSHA and FEMA into my little barn build thread. In the State Of Montana, I did not even need a permit to build this thing.. Yeap just getter done.. So no more FEDS please, we are already over spending.. Thanks for the replies...

My ladder thing was not that bad....

Finished pics really soon.... Thanks guys Dave

All done

Well onto the next project, this is done. Time to take the puppies for a ride in the LC before the snow flys..

Wow!!

Pretty sure we can find somewhere other than FEMA to send the tarp package.


I've got a ladder shot for you, lemme get it off my phone in a few days. Goes something like "how do we re-string the flagpole?" when ladder is 35' and pole is 45'.


And no permit -- even better!!!

Very nice work! I'm impressed.

I wonder if there is some way to "black out" that barn down railing to match your other hardware. I don't know how well paint would stick to galvanizing (if that is the finish).

Lots of hard work in that barn, but it looks great.

Galv Door Rail

Yes, that has been bothering me too. I thought about taking the doors back down and painting the rail black. I too wondered how well paint would work on galvinized metal... I bet one of our LC brothers out there knows. We seem to know everything right...

Have some black engine paint, might see what happens.....;p

Thanks for the thumbs up, it was alot of hard work..

Use Jasco on the galvanized and then paint it. You can get the Jasco at Lowe's. It is a phosphoric acid I think which will etch the galvanizing.

Or, vinegar will work fine.

It looks real nice, I would hate the maintenence. Linseed oil that thing every year? You did a great job on that though look real good.

I like the composite concrete siding (James Hardie or Certainteed) You can actually stain it with cedar stain and you only have to do it about every 15 years. That is what we did with a cabin in Cascade Idaho.
