Is that the colors you picked? Looks like Sandstone and Tan, nice combo if it is. It's a nice lookin barn. Can't wait to see it all done. How long will it take to put it up?

Should take one day to put up as soon as they get to it. I can order it as soon as the 19th (man is on his honeymoon until then, lol) and he said big jobs like this get put to the top of the pile over plain old carports so it could be 2 weeks and they'll be calling to see if we're ready for it.Is that the colors you picked?

That looks very nice
Even up here I would hesitate to put a dark roof on an outbuilding. My house is yellow with a green roof and I like it, but the attic space gets very hot in the summer (not living space so not a big deal). I really like a green building with a white roof too, not sure if that would be a heat issue. My coops are yellow with white trim and scrap asphalt roofs, but insulated with that bubble wrap aluminum stuff.
Watch the flicker rate of older fluorescent ballasts...said to be detrimental to chicken eyes.My basement has those 4' long fluorescent fixtures that we both hate down there. DH wants to remove them and place two of them in the center aisle of the barn for lighting. I realize they will balk in super cold weather but it would be a way to save some $$ up front. If they fail us later, we could replace them.
I didn't know that, thank you. Those are good ones, but I am not a fan of fluorescent, generally. Maybe one can go in the storage room since it will need light, too.Watch the flicker rate of older fluorescent ballasts...said to be detrimental to chicken eyes.
LOL, he is an adorable little wind-up toy, isn't he?You know, SH, if Xander needs a place to stay while you're building, he could come up here and be the world's most spoiled house rooster! Custom chicken diapers and unlimited mealworms! He could perch on the recliner next to the woodstove and peck at the two cats when they walk by!(Can't blame me for trying - he is the cutest little rooster!)
