We're finally getting a new barn!!

[thebirdguy]

Well, they are pretty close to being finished with the framing.. They still need to frame out two windows on the front and build the stairs. The steel could start going up as early as tomorrow!!!

This side faces West and is the front

This is the South side and will eventually have pop doors into outdoor runs for the birds

This is the North side and will have dutch doors into outdoor enclosures for the goats & pigs

Outstanding.... You know at first with the beginning pictures I was scratching my head Not quite visualizing what was going on I have never seen a pole building go up. Now its just beautiful. The workmanship on the roof beams is awesome... I cant wait to see it finished.

How big are your horse stalls? I have a draft and want to put up a miniature version with just one big stall, Hay storage (on the ground floor) and a small stall for the goats... I have four Nigerian dwarfs. I am figuring on being able to do it in 24 x 24 or 24 x 30 square feet.

Wow, it looks very nice!

But it makes my new coop very shabby looking.

Each stall/pen will be 10 by 14 except for at the far end which will start out as 10 by 36 but will get split into two 10 x 18 by Spring...

I'll have 5 stalls for the goats and pigs and will end up with 6 pens for birds. We'll also have a 10 x 14 enclosed room on the front right for feed, incubators and such... Can't wait for it to be finished!!!

This is absolutely amazing. I too was struggling to visualise the finished item from the first few pics, but this last set of photos shows what an astounding building it's going to be. It's absolutley perfect in everyway. I'm getting excited for you. I can't wait to see the finished item so I can show my other half and say "There! That's what I'd like for Christams!"

A little more progress...
