Re: Crusader's Barndominium Construction Thread

The hillbillies sound like trouble.

A shame that has to happen so soon into it...

You did good introducing yourself.  It's a polite way of planting the flag - I'm here, neighbor, and that's not how I live or what I like to see.

Y'all have a nice day now, hear?

Good fences make good neighbors.  I'll have a locked automatic gate and very good security cameras everywhere with signs warning their presence.  My home is nice but very simple on the outside and I will eventually have big dogs.  I'm comfortable with my immediate neighbors and I will keep good relations with them.  I didn't let the hillbillies know, but I am always armed,  especially in the country by myself for 4 legged predators, but it works for 2 legged predators also.

Something tells me the hillbillies won't be much trouble.  John's parents own adjoining land and they have a very nice place.  I think John is just an underachiever who made poor life decisions when he was young.  He works at a paper company near my brother's house.  At least he is employed.  His sons shouldn't cause any trouble so close to home, but I will keep my distance and keep my eyes open. I just did a search on the sex offender data registry and the nearest convicted pervert lives a mile away. I searched before I bought the land and nothing has changed.

Skins are going on the house.  They need to do the front, covered porched, roof, gutters, downspouts, and garage doors.

Lookin' good.

One advantage to pole-barn construction is, the exterior goes up FAST.

if you run 3/4" rigid or IMC for most of your elect, in an F-2 you just might stand a chance of living.

Awesome!

The roof is on and I have porches. There is some scrap sheet metal. I may keep it to build a matching chicken coop.

It's looking great, Tex!

That was a clean construction site!

I like the outhouse behind the far corner post.

They didn't waste much, but they only framed the outside 10 ft walls and sheet metal is pretty easy to figure.   I'd be worried if there was a lot of waste.
