58 TRUK intro

[_Ogre]

when my wife and i bought our property in 97, i told her ''love the barn, will make the house work''

30x50 10 stall horse barn with a 18x50 animal shed attached down one side originally.
gutted the stalls (including up to 5 ft of horse dooky), pressure washed everything and set up shop.
eventually put up walls, knocked down a wall for g-door, stairs, insulation, sheetrock and some new doors.
barn floor is 1.5 inches thick hand poured concrete from the 30s and sloped to a manure trough (now filled in).
a couple of yrs back i tore the roof off the animal shed-turned-carport and poured a slab and made a real garage out of it.
little shed on the front was the milk house with a big cooler for milk cans, now the garden shed.

the garage has 2- 9ft and 1- 16ft doors into it and one 9ft door into the shop/barn from the garage.
the front 20ft of the barn is my workshop, sheetrocked and insulated for working in MI winters.
mid section is for working on vehicles/welding and can be heated, just not cheaply.
last section is for junk/parts (what's the diff?)

8ft ceilings through out, so no hoist in my future unless i cut thru the 2nd floor (which i am debating).
hopefully asphalt parking area will go in this summer if the boss so desires
68 elco is my son's, in storage while he finishes grad school.
