Building a pole barn for my boats and toys

I've got the beer-drinkin' part down pat...

[buckboardjr]

Been saving the beer for end of day successes until we get down to ground level. They sure are deserved after 12 -14hrs out in this 90* heat. Makes you appreciate them even more.

Good looking JOB Buck !!!!!!

[buckboardjr]

Worked by myself this weekend. putting up 16ft Facia 2x8s and 18fters on the gable rakes. Used deadman jigs and helper blocks.

Hanging eves facia

Chalklining gable end purlins

Helper blocks attached to 18ft Rake Facia 2x8 for attaching alone

Holding it in place

nailing her home.

Ready for Steel

Finally started roofing. I chose to put this microfoil anti condensation material down that takes longer to put down than the steel and makes the job more dangerous. Sure hope it works.

18ft sheets are alittle tough alone. The wind needs to be in your favor.

extra care has to be taken not to damage the micro foil

1st sheet

24ft done

Thanks Ray. Bazooka! I got a few stories of my own as well. Will be in FairHavnen 25Aug thru Labor Day regardless of barn status. Will see you there. How long will you be there?

[BAZOOKAJOE]

I don't have any plans to stay there. But I only live 35 mins from there. Let's hook up and do some fishing! Im going up to saranac lake day before labor day. But can fish the 26th or the 30th.

Soffett& Facia and trimming evrything out took alot longer than I thought. Finally ready for siding.

My new fishing pal can swing a hammer too!

Curious why you used sheathing under the metal roof?

[buckboardjr]

I wasn't using shiething under the metal. I used it as a working platform next to the roofing area. The sheithing had 2 x 4 cleats nailed to the underside in the appropriate spot to keep it from sliding down over the purlins. It also had cleats on top to catch tools. It had strap handles so you could slide it across the roof easily.
