Despite some of the nastiest April weather I have ever seen we continue to make progress on the barn. MDK has finished their part of this phase of the project. They replaced missing and damaged siding and have replaced the shingles at both gable ends.The east end was a real challenge. It seemed that between the pitch of the roof and the windows and vents that nearly every shingle had to be cut and fit into place.
Patrick and I have been following the crew from MDK and replacing trim and wrap to prepare for paint. Oh, and did I mention that we also hand scraped every surface of this building setting nails to secure the trim as we went? Patrick and I have set lofty goals for our performance and regardless of weather will not quit until at least one board is placed every day; some days are longer than others.
When you look at some of the photos from before we lifted and straightened the building it is difficult to believe that we even took this project on. We are delighted with the outcome and everyone is looking forward to seeing the paint go on.
Hard to believe it is the same barn.

Wow, you can really see how much straighter it is these days...impressive!
Now, that is a big improvement. Kudos to you! I have just finished renovating my old house, I replaced the old roof with new asphalt shingles, added bay windows to the living room, and installed new vinyl sidings as well.
A friend who work as a siding contractor (Minneapolis based) helped me install the new sidings and helped me choose the siding that fits my needs. Here in Minnesota, siding contractors Minneapolis professionals are always available to help you choose a product that will meet your preference and budget.
By the way, you guys did an excellent work on the barn!
Thank you for posting those photos...Siding contractor minneapolis
Your barn is looking good! Your choice of sidings is very appropriate for a barn, indeed. It's so amazing that, after all that transpired, you have managed to rebuild your old barn. Great job!
