I built a barn! (pics)

I can try to get some updated pics but it won't do much good. Truth is....I STILL have not gotten around to painting it so it looks pretty much the same! I keep MEANING to paint it but I'm bad about But First Syndrome. I'm gonna do this~ But First I'm gonna do that....and then I'm gonna do that But First I'm gonna do this other thing.....

I'll try to get some new pics but like I said they look pretty much the same except now it's not as clean with the animals living in it full time! And it may be a while~ I got some a few other things I gotta do First....

How is it holding up? Any tweeking that you've had to here or there? Any changes that you've made to better suit the critters?

It's holding up pretty well. The chicken side is doing great~ the french doors need to be built sturdier those ones warped. I built some for another small stall in the other pasture last year that I framed out with 2X4 then built 2X4 crosses in them like you see in old pictures of barns. Those are holding up much better than the thin ones I put on this barn are. The thin ones still work, but they are warped and wouldn't hold up to an animal locked in and intent to get out. But then~ the bigger ones on the other stall held in pigs intent on getting out but not a horse intent on getting out! She launched over the lower door and destroyed it~ I had to rebuild that one and remember THAT horse does not do confinement well.

The other side of the carport barn in this thread was to be for goats and it still is, but I leave it open and the cows and the horses go in there to get out of the rain sometimes. The bull used the middle support for the doors on that side as a scratcher and effectively removed it! So it's a good thing I don't want to close the doors on that side~ the support I would fasten them to was sacrificed to itchy hide!

No pics for 6 to 8 weeks~ but I'll try to remember to get new pics then. Like I said it looks pretty much the same but dirtier.
