New farm, let's build some stuff

It’s a standard piece of trim, not sure exactly what it’s called. Drip edge or something - I’m not good with metal trims honestly. The existing roof hangs over about an inch and a half.

2" is standard for gutter application, that may have been why it was built like that, in case someone wanted to add gutters?
As is they may just lift and push new roof under there and re-fasten.
Is what we did where we could, or flash for the drop.

Flashing in roofs is something roofers will determine, unless engineering plans have specs for that.

It had gutters, they were cut off for the addition. I don’t need two sets of gutters, the barn is only 40x60. One large 6" gutter on the addition will handle it easily.

And the plans do have the trim on it, I just don’t know what it’s called. They have a 3 page pictoral guide on all the kinds of trim and my brain exploded and I had them just do a formal design :rofl:

Ooooh, fancy doors! I am so impressed with your tackling of ALL of this!

Can’t wait to see the horses home. When do you hope to have them there?

I’m hoping for the beginning of July. It won’t all be done but it will never all be done.

It was a rainout for outside work, and I can’t paint the doors inside the barn because the roof leaks :rofl:

Put the casing on the outside of the tack room door and around the built in. Its ready for the tongue and groove. I also hung a barn quilt - it was showing some wear from being outside at my last house and it was a gift so I don’t want it to degrade further. I’ll have to match it’s dark green tone because now the wainscoting stripe looks teal to me.

And now I’ll take my migraine inside and wallow in my misery.

Starting on the tongue and groove.

Also working on getting hardware for the stall doors. Classic equine uses a bolt size too big as does Ramm. Ill figure it out.

Scored a boatload of plastic pallets from work, they were going to throw them out. I’ll use them for hay storage.

I sweet talked them out of 15 wood pallets to make my compost bins. There are tons of pallets in our trash pile but they are all different sizes. This will simplify things greatly.

More tongue and groove. I should have started from the top, I’ve got a pickle above the door. The tiny pieces surely weren’t exactly lined up. Ah well, I’ll patch something together and move on. It’s not the end of the world.

Barn addition has a roof.

Baby grasslets, in lines :rofl:. Hopefully they’ll tiller out with some mowing.

Ooh, well done with the pallets! Something must be wrong with me because I get all mushy over a nice wooden pallet. I’ve got one I snagged at the feed store just sitting in my equipment shed because it’s “too nice” to use for anything. :roll_eyes:

I totally get it. I was in big frowny mode, sorting through the pallets in the trash area thinking how hinky it was going to look (while logically 1) it’s a compost pile 2) at the back of the property 3) far from the view of myself or any neighbor and 4) new or old it’s still a pallet), and was quite chuffed to get 15 of the exact same size :rofl:

If the difference over the door is too annoying, you could change up the pattern there. Do vertical or even diagonal if you are so inclined.

Oooo I like this idea! Diagonal would be super sharp!

herringbone!

Add wider planks over the existing door frame, overlapping the tongue and groove boards.

This wide plank trim shown above was my first thought on how to fix the situation too. This looks really sharp.
