smig, i not sure when i'll do the radiant heat as the boiler is about 2grand and that is low on my list. i plan on a wood stove for now.
 
Rob:

If you have access to mixed hard and softwood for the wood stove, I think you will find that the wood stove may be the better option. I am very happy with my wood furnace, and if I could have used a wood furnace in my shop I sure nuff would have. However, because it was a commercial business an highly flamable liquids were present (usually sprayed), an open fire was out of the question for insurance coverage. They did allow me to have a propane forced air system which was kind of weird, cause the pilot light was open.. :? :roll: ... Oh well.. that is life.

I do have an older Enterprise that was in the old house that was on the property when we bought it. It is stil over at my father-in-laws place. I am thinking on putting that in the pole barn to help heat.. should be economical as well as warm once it is insualted.


I do like the Tenons for the rails and stiles.. nice work :!:
 
really nice panelbeater, that first pick shows your really on point. the over hang out to the left is something i overlooked.i hope one day i can add that little section on the front of my barn.i can feed out of the weather and it would give the critters a place to avoid the weather with out going in side.heck nice place to tuck a tractor also . :big afro:
 
The only thing I see that would mould make that barn better would be to have it at my place. I really like old barns for a new one that is a beauty.
 
thanks for all the compliments guys. now i have to decide on colors for the doors, red or white or a combination of both. what would you guys do, any ideas would be appreciated.
 
i'd stick with the trim color, but you know what you can do with the red and white if you want to get a little fancy :roll: :wink:
 
Rob:

Abosolutely top notch, what a gorgeous barn. And the Cupola.. 8) 8) where did you get the dimensions for it? That is something I would love to add to my shop/barn combo.

Great job :!: :!: :!:
 
I agree with Joe! That's just about what I'd build if I could afford it. Nice job. But I'm wondering where you put the downdraft?
 
Thats a real nice barn panelbeater! It has a lot of old style charm, not a square metal building (not bashing those, would settle for one myself!). I would have to vote for white doors and trim, I like red and white barns, but then it isn't my barn, as hard as I wish it was :D Congratulations, you should be proud!
