This weekend for me was really busy, I worked 10 hours yesterday and this morning started working on the barn again. I really am trying to get the outside done before winter sets in, I can work on the inside then.
I am terribly afraid of heights but was up on the roof putting tin on most of the afternoon.
I did okay after the first few minutes but it took me awhile to get down (had to pry my hands off of the rafter I was holding onto)
Of course I had to take a few breaks to love on the horses.
We are using pallets for the outside walls and have most of those in and will put tin on the outside and wood on the inside. We got about 1/2 of the roof on today.
Hubby can't get up there so I did it and he handed me stuff and played with the babies.
For anybody that wants to know about using pallets for the outside walls, they work great and insulation slides right in the openings. Sure beats buying all that lumber and nailing it together!
At the rate this barn is going up, I should have it finished in a couple of years.
