Barns and sheds

[cutterboy]

Hi all. A forum friend asked me about one of my barns and that gave me the idea for this thread.

I have three barns I'll show you in pictures.

If you have a barn or shed or any kind of out building especially if you built it yourself, let us see it or them. I'd love to see pictures. You can post them here if you want.

This first picture is of my oldest barn and attached shed. It was built in 1823 and is hand hewn post and beam construction. My father resided it 35 years ago and took out the windows.





A view of the inside





This picture shows you the marks left on a beam from the tool they used to hewn it.





In this picture you can see the wooden pegs used to attach the beams to the post.





This next picture shows the long low barn that was built in the 1920s as a dairy barn to house cows. It is 180 feet long and 32 feet wide and has a cement floor. My dad sided this barn too and took out the windows.





A view inside





This next picture shows my third barn which is an ugly old girl but dry inside. It is 100 feet long and 20 feet wide and I air dry my lumber in there.

So, there are my barns. Let me see your's.
