Besides a mess, this picture shows the south bay (with forklift-one of my bargains I couldn't pass up $700) and the sub panel install, I am running 3/4 conduit throughout. You can see the floor is down to soil and fairly level and pier under SE corner post.

I just put the benches up a couple of days ago, I was going crazy with the mess. At least I can walk now...

Larry,

Very impressive. Looks like you got a good project that is turning into something to be proud of. Thanks for posting the picks, the new ones really show some impressive improvements over what you started out with.

Larstan,

WOW! I am jealous of your barn. I see no problem in what you are repairing/restoring in your barn. You are taking a building that had a ton of deferred maintainence and bringing it "up to snuff" so it can be used for your intended purpose. I would love to have an old barn/shed on my property for exactly the same purpose you are planning for yours.

Best wishes and keep us posted on the progress with pictures. In case you haven't noticed TBNer's are very visual people!

Eddie, Thanks for the support. I'm trying to do the best I can with the available resources, I have boxes of stuff from a home depot type store that went out of business and we purchased a sealed container of it. The 3/4 conduit I have rolls and rolls of, I think you can see it in that overhead shot I posted last night. So go easy on me, I'm a doin my best. Sorry about your electrical problems, I know the feeling when that stuff blindsides you.

Cheers,

Wiens, Thanks that's a great quote "ton of deferred maintainance" /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif but that's pretty much how I see it. If you can't go out plop 30 or 40 grand for a new structure having an existing structure even one that needs work is absolutely the next best thing. I don't know if you actively looking for an inexpensive way to put something up, but I ran across another members website (Harvey Lacey) really talented guy, anyway he is putting together a kit that looks pretty interesting. His site is harveylacey.com click on projects and look for 'Garage-barn-shelter building built my way' anyway his site is worth checking out just for the great projects he does. Thanks again......

Evening everyone, I did not manage to get back to working on the BarnShop today but I did get a couple of pics. Had forklift issues and had to fix them as I needed move all the lumber I pulled out. Don't have pallet forks for the 2615 (working on it) so had to go with O'l Yeller /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

The only problems I found with the interior vertical supports was 2 in the north row, the center and east posts were splitting right down the center. I welded up some brackets, 1/4" plate with 1/8" sides bolted thru center with a 5/8" Bolt. They pulled right back together and I have been giving them a turn on the nut every 4 or 5 days.
