Beautiful barn, I would put a sign on it that said "dog house" so I could spend all my time there

I understand what you are saying, but since I am rarely in the ''dog house'' I will most likely use some other name.

Hi again.
Just posting an update picture of the upper portion of the front of the barn.

Monitorman, please upload the latest photo to your Forestry Forum gallery where the others are and replace this note

Now I can start on the walls.

Thanks for looking hope you enjoyed the picture.

Fantastic looking barn. If I didn't have all I need I might be tempted to have me one of those. I really enjoy your pictorial history of the project. Stay safe. Those ladders can get us at our age. Chuck

Very nice! I like monitor roof barns, but there don't seem to be any around here. I've seen a bunch in Vermont.

I'm sorry, I totally forgot that this forum requires that you have to load your pictures to a separate gallery. I am, and have been, on several other forums and none have required that the pictures be handled that way. When I posted this, I used the preview feature and the post and the picture loaded and looked just fine. If it had not I would have corrected it at that point.
I also checked the thread after that to be sure it was ok, as I always do, on all my posts, on all forums. No problem. So apparently you can link off your own web site as I did, and have the picture show, as all the others seem to. I don't see why then, the need to have a separate place where I am required to store my pictures. They are already on a public access server.
The purpose to post this was only so others could see and enjoy the work that we have done. We are too old to be going thru a bunch of hoops just to please someone that has way more time than we do. I did that for too many years, try not to do that any more. Especially when it is in red.
If anyone is interested in seeing the pictures check out the link below. Thanks and have a great day.

FORUM PHOTOS MUST BE IN A FORESTRY FORUM GALLERY. OFFSITE LINKS TO PHOTOS ARE NOT ALLOWED.

I have sent you a private message explaining why this person (me) with to much time on his hands requires photos to be in a Forestry Forum gallery. Now, back to my wife that just had thyroid surgery, back to the email I have to address complaining about a copyright violation because a member linked to a photo on another server, back to the muscle relaxer bottle to help with the headaches I get from the pinched nerve from all of the time spent on the computer keeping this website going. Yes you are 72. By looking at your work, it is impressive. You just might be able to beat me in a foot race or an arm wrestling match and you are 20 years older then me. I'll not belittle your work and I sure wish you would not belittle mine by saying I have to much time on my hands.

We are truly sorry that the members of this forum will not be able to see our project.
There are many other ways to see it, but why list them when they will be edited anyway.
End of discussion.

We win some, we lose some. Mostly win.

In 1% of the time it took to complain about the rules you agreed to when you joined, and to come back and again stamp your foot on them again, you could have easily clicked a button, had the photo upload, clicked another, and had it appear in the post. You did it in the first post you made that contained several photos. The red lettering was simply so you would notice right away that the post needed edited. It should have been green or purple I suppose.
