Big job! Do you have a front end loader?
If it's worth doing at all it's worth over-doing.

Okay, you really should be more careful of what you post.  That last pic shows a wood fired oven, worthy of a party, where a huge crowd of bikers could easily ride to.


Just sayin'.



And I'm only 30 to 40 minutes away.

Very scenic, 70. I've been to VA, the big trees were very impressive. How old is the barn?

Yesterday I found a new and surprising feature of the roof.  It sports healthy 116V   ;D ;D

I would not know till I touched the roof from aluminum ladder, LOL.  Must have put one of the 1000 screws through an electrical cable.  It is limited to one circuit, I flipped it off and that's that for now.

But you really don't expect a roof to zap you.

Brings new meaning to the phrase "hot tin roof".

THAT is how i want to live.  great looking place.  :)

and when i was an early 20-something, a buddy of mine had a refrigerator that would zap the hell out of you if you touched it while touching the metal edging around the sink.  it was so funny to him to get people to zap themselves that he never bothered telling the landlord.  ;)

The roof looks like a metal roof but another photo looks like it has shingles laid out.

Looks good now. Congrats on finishing it up and sorting the electrical. Should be able to figure out which circuit is hot by shutting them down one by one and checking the hot roof... ;D
