Yup, finally going to happen. But, I can't build it!! I hate it when that happens!!! Problem is, I'm 250 miles away from it. Going to wind up with a 28X32 gambrel roof. Two 10X8 doors on the gable end, and end up with a 22X32 upper floor.
Since I'm going back and forth between two properties, I'm having a builder upnorth doing it for me. He's the same guy I probably will be working with once I get there permanently in the next couple months.
Now, a question. I want the weathered look. I'm using 5/8" T1-11 for siding, 8" grooves. Has anyone an idea of how to get the weathered look of an old barn on new wood? I'm leaning on letting it go this year due to winter coming on, and the temps from here on out aren't conducive to anything being applied right now. One winter of no protection shouldn't be that much of a problem.
How about using deckstain for a finish next spring? Colour really isn't much of an issue, but am thinking of red, bluish-gray, or even green.
