Completing the Barn

 

My three sons working on installing flashing. As a dad, It was nice to see them working together!
Lumber racking is set for sheet goods and dimensional lumber

Progress on the barn is a combination of steps forward and backward.  The good news is that it looks significantly better than it did, the bad news is we still have a way to go with snow in the forecast for the next couple of weeks.

We have started to stock items inside the barn since we are pretty much water tight.  We have also finished the exterior siding and have begun work on the front porch.  Hoping to finish the porch in the next week or two.  We also have some last pieces of flashing to bend and get put into place.

The rough timbers are set for the front porch. Just need to set the joists and the Palram Suntuf roof panels

In parallel to the work outside, we have begun shuffling inside the store in preparation for the cafe.  We are starting by moving our plumbing department.  We will then remove the garage doors that are still in place from when we converted our lumber building into part of our store.  Then the real shifting begins.  Every department with the exception of nuts and bolts and tools will find a new home as we prepare to open the Cafe.

Catch us next week to see what we have done…
