Had a productive vacation....

Winter is coming, and my pole barn is cold as heck. Here are a few before, during, and after pictures of our steps to remedy the situation.












The funny looking tray ceiling is the future home of a lift. The ceiling is 10 feet, but that spot is 13. We intend to blow in insulation and finish insulating the walls to seal the place up.

Ellen and I busted our butts to knock this out, and of course, the job was fueled with plenty of these:

Outstanding! I need to do that to mine as well...but I'm too Damn lazy!

Looks Great


TJ

I know what you meen! 40 sheets of drywall sitting in the corner for the past 3 years!

well worth the work.you'll be real glad you did this in a few months!

Thanks guys. I couldn't have done it without Ellen. I drank, she measured, and then I screwed. You need at least 3 beers before our wobbly ladder feels steady.

Cletus... could you define..."then I screwed"

Well,,,,, After a few beers, some of the details get a little foggy. But I'm hoping that I got lucky sometime along the way.....

Beer is Good...Ceiling is Great.....I did mine the same way ,then blew insulation 6" deep on top of the metal. really is easy to heat now. You'll be surprised how big of a difference it'll make Jeff. You'll feel like drinking and screwing all the time out there now!!
