After concrete was poured, it was time to start framing the walls inside the building! The original layout of the barn was three open bays and an enclosed room. We had no good use for so many open bays, so we switched things up a bit. Instead, we reframed the space to have a bay for the Chevelle, the original enclosed room (to be a tool room / man cave), and a (new) large room for gathering and hanging out. We are so excited to see this space come to life!
Up next was the roof. The original metal roof was very old, rusted, and had lots of holes in it. We replaced it with a new metal roof that has an earthy green color. TJ removed the old roof AND put the new roof on by himself (beast mode), and it only took him a few days from start to finish. He's not someone who sits on a project when he has it, so he knocked it out really quickly. I helped as much as I could, mainly by being his spotter. LOL.
We are SO pleased with how the roof turned out! We love the color we chose, and it's going to look so good with the new siding when we get to that point. One downside of the new roof is that we won't be able to see it because of the direction the roof slants. It's a bummer to spend so much money on something you'll never see, BUT it will certainly do its job at keeping us/the barn protected.
This is what the roof looked like BEFORE:
And this is what the roof looks like now / AFTER:
We're gettin' there, y'all! Stay tuned for what the next box on our list is to get a check!
