Just into the western edge of Buffalo near Arcadia. Our cameras haven’t had much activity the last couple of days. Starting to see some fawns without their mothers.

Late report but got this guy on Saturday afternoon. He was just cruising. Yesterday and today are windy with little movement seen in person or on camera. Western Wisconsin

Quotes have been far and wide ranging from a low of $120,000 up to $185,000. This does not include electric, plumbing, heating, or a concrete pad out front of the building except for 1 that did include the pad in front of the garage doors. The majority don’t include site prep either. The big...

The builder and I talked about insulating under the slab and we decided not to do it. There will be a vapor barrier under it but with how I’m going to use the garage and what temp I’m going to keep it at in the winter I would not see the return in my investment during my lifetime.

We are getting quotes from builders and I have it narrowed down to 2. Here’s what we decided on. 40x60x16, 2 14x14 insulated garage doors, 10’ wide mezzanine with stairs running 40’ length of far end, 8x10 bathroom framed in under mezzanine. 2 man doors, 6 slider windows, 6 unopening...

Reviving this thread. Any new experiences or how your barns are doing. I’m in the seeking bids process for a 40x60 pole barn to be built in Marinette county.

This!! Love my TC smoke pole shooting the Blackhorn 209. It’s fun trying different weights of powder to see what the gun likes the best. I can touch holes at 100 yards with it. Luckily I still have some BH 209 left from before the company got sold. Now it’s 💰 to get.

I’ll take my Browning X Bolt in 6.5 Creedmoor out for opening day. After that I might switch to my muzzleloader. Love the smoke pole.

The guards have saved my tractor several times. I’m in NE Wisconsin so probably too far away but thanks for thinking of me.

I eventually was able to speak to the expert from the UW extension for my area. He identified my issue as winter damage. He said this is classic winter damage and it was experienced area wide in levels not seen in 40 years from commercial growers to residential trees. He explained that it was...

Ground some more stumps last weekend. These were 2 big ones in the front yard. Before and after pics.

Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Metallica, Guns & Roses. I’m still pissed at G&R. I had tickets to their concert when they were touring with Metallica. Concert got cancelled when G&R broke up.

Is Wainscoting worth adding to the exterior?

Great ideas guys, keep them coming. The electric pedestal at the barn and then running from there to the new house when we build it makes sense. Sandpoints are still legal where I’m at. Having a flush toilet may be difficult as the existing septic is quite a ways from the barn site and we...

Good idea. I’m also thinking plenty of exterior lights with a few security cameras, good LED lights inside, a floor drain, and some ceiling fans.
