Looking good! Diggin' the new roof and the arbor and sitting area by the garage looks likes a nice place to sit and dream up projects.

Thanks guys. Been a long road to get where we are but I couldn't be happier with what has happened. The wife and I are really enjoying it. Was sitting in the basement last night and shot a couple games of pool and just relaxed and loved it. Dirtyrat knows that I have been killing myself over this place but I know that it won't be much longer and that will all be over. Then all I have left to do is enjoy it.

Yeah the past year there we have been pretty happy. And yup the shop is already full. Been full since about 3 days after I moved in. But I couldn't be happier about it. So no the plan is to make the barn bigger. Going to put a 16ft leanto on the back of the barn I hope in the next month or so with plans to close it in next year.

 

[Dirtyrat]

Damn straight you been working yourself to death!
Will be a good day when you can relax and enjoy it!

Never done, Never satisfied..... same thing right?

Decided that, well I am a guy, so I need more garage. Or something close to that. So I will start with a roof. Maybe later something more than that. I don't like my vehicles sitting outside/uncovered. So making some more room for my truck. Started building myself a 14ft wide leanto. It is 9ft to the bottom of the joists on the post side 12ft on the house. Figured that way if I ever wanted to close it in I can easily run an 8ft door 10ft wide.

Next up need to sheet it and put on the steel roof.

Nice! I would love to have a garage for our daily drivers.......we've only been here 35 years though....maybe someday.

Couldn't do without one. House already has an attached 2 car, this leanto is on the side of that. The 2 car is not deep enough to fit my truck, height is questionable too since the truck has a cap. This should remedy both parts of this. Also I think that if/when I close this in I should be able to fit the camper in the back sideways which would be nice. Maybe some other stuff too.

Thank you! I am a one man machine, so it is slow going, but I do seem to manage. I was hoping to get farther last night, wanted to get the sheeting on, but after carrying all those joists up the ladder and nailing them in place I didn't feel like I had it in me to start throwing plywood up there.

 

[21willys]

Looks good man! When your done you can come build me one!

 

[Country Misfit]

Looking good. I need to build one for my tractor.

The American Dream!!!

Yes it can still happen, but only if you work for it! I have been working on this place for 18months now, working two jobs, invested nearly every spare dollar I had to get it to where I am.

I feel the urge for a mini rant on the "American Dream" but I believe I shall refrain!

None the less I got all the sheeting up, felt, and steel. Just need to trim it in now.
