Barn to workshop

[Dozernut]

I helped a friend rebuild his barn/shop and we used a lot of Cottonwood to sheathe it. Cottonwood tends to be stringy and will not plane down smooth, but works well for sheathing. Just don't let it get wet or it will warp and twist badly. He had the trees and had a local mill cut them into lumber. He saved a lot of money going this route over plywood or OSB. Just some food for thought. BTW nice job!

Thanks Dozernut, whatever I end up doing with it I will be doing myself. Can't really afford to have them transported and cut.
Do you own a Dozer? I been keeping my eye out for one /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

A little tractor time, I got everything moved using the fork and the tractor. I needed to get it all moved off to the side for now as I need to get the slab in before the rains start......
