My land purchase was just that...land. No buildings, sheds, nowhere to store anything and nothing to sleep under. Just under 90 miles isn't a terrible drive at all, especially for an open road lover like me. However, the land is so beautiful & relaxing, it needed a shelter for extended trips for farming, hunting or just hanging with the family around the campfire.
I sold my first 25 acre farm and rolled that into my new 40 acre piece so I had a few pieces of equipment. It got old hauling equipment back & forth or hiding it in the woods with a tarp & chain on it. Pre-built sheds and installed pole buildings just weren't in the budget. Fortunately, I am a 3rd generation builder, living in a house I built with the help of my dad, brother, father-in-law and friends in the trades. So my plan was to stick build a small barn to store things with a loft above for sleeping and pay cash along the way to avoid putting out large expenses at one time.
With a trailer full of treated posts & quickcrete, the project was underway.
Unfortunately, the majority of the work at the farm is a one man show. However, I was fortunate to have enough help from my good friends Roger, Mike, Chris & Jeff along the way who showed up on days when 2 hands just couldn't get the job done. Here's my buddy Roger helping set posts.
