My Father-in-Law has been coming quite faithfully to help out with odd jobs around the farm while I’m still recovering from hip surgery. So yesterday, we tackled putting in a door big enough for round bales in the upstairs end of the one barn.
Luckily, the end wall is non-weight bearing, so it was a matter of cutting out a few studs, and cutting through the steel siding. (and measuring correctly, which is always the trickiest part!) So by the end of the afternoon, we had a nice 8′ square hole in the end of the barn, and were thoroughly satisfied with our days handiwork!
Next visit, we’ll have to build a door!
