Expert Posts: 1414	This is our porch. Used left over old tin for the wall, slapped a double frame around an old chalk board, put casters on an old electric spool we had sitting at the farm and bought chairs on clearance at Lowes. Did this whole area for less than $400. Makes me smile. (KIMG0278.JPG) Attachments ---------------- KIMG0278.JPG (86KB - 168 downloads)

Expert Posts: 1414	We decided to move our bedroom up to the loft for the winter. It was such a cold "barren" place with just our bed so I tossed a few more things in there this weekend. (KIMG0273 (640x480).jpg) Attachments ---------------- KIMG0273 (640x480).jpg (67KB - 170 downloads)

10D Crack Champion	You may have already explained this. How is it insulated? I know you have the heated floors.

Expert Posts: 1414	sodapop - 2014-09-22 6:59 PM You may have already explained this. How is it insulated? I know you have the heated floors. The original building was a cement block building. On the exterior there's a layer of insulation between the cement blocks and the barn wood siding. On the interior they built 2 x 4 stud walls next to the cement blocks and put a layer of insulated between the cement blocks and the drywall so we have insulation on the interior and exterior on most walls. We live out in the open and the wind rips through here so we needed/wanted extra insulation. We left the original roof on the barn and built a new roof system on top of it. And that's my husband standing on the roof scaring the bejesis out of me. Edited by roanrider 2014-09-22 6:32 PM (roof.jpg) Attachments ---------------- roof.jpg (20KB - 173 downloads)
