Pole Barn Construction

Thursday afternoon four men came and augered holes for the pole barn poles. Friday morning a truck delivered a pile of materials. Friday afternoon the four men returned and began arranging pieces of metal siding around the building pad.


Dennis came home mid-afternoon to see what was happening. Our neighbor Al and his corgis stopped by, too. The poles were up and the big holes filled with dirt around them.


Next, up went the walls.



After the crew left for the day, I went back to check their progress. These guys are fast.


The big empty space will be filled with an overhead door. That's where our pick-up will be parked. Another overhead door on the south side will accommodate parking of mower and tiller. A person door will give access to a potting/garden tool area with a window. The building is just 24' x 24'.

Except for pouring the concrete floor, the pole barn will be finished on Monday. We're pretty excited.

I'm excited for you! Amazing how quickly people who know what they're doing can build/make something! Love the soft light at the end of the day.

I love your photos, Mamacita! That new one looks like a guy who's not afraid of heights! I like how he's wrapped one leg around the board for stability. Work for the young!
