New Cider Barn

Sweet? Sounds like something good to go w/ apples and cheese for Happy Hour!
Not too sweet. I like dryer cider but back sweetened it a bit so it's not bone dry. Loving those cider barn pics. Might need a copy of the plan and layout minus a basement.
 
Aero's working on a " hard case " and Maya's got the snack menu for Happy Hour .............. How do you guys get anything done ??????? :emoji_smirk:

I do it all myself and that way no one gets in my way. I am not very organized but I make up for it effort sometimes fruitless efforts (no pun intended) but retirement helps too Bows lol. I need a small cider barn as I think I will be growing more apples in the future lol. I hope
 
George

I am going to kill yiu for sending me that link lol. I want one now too. How big is yours and who is building yours and what approximately will it cost to assemble?
 
Mine is 16X30'. You can get them starting at about 14-15k, I think. Mine took some finagling to build because of the cellar, putting in pillars etc.. You'd have to get quotes down there. Keep in mind it is all pre-cut and comes ready to build except for your site work. (pad, pillars of some sort) I bet you could get someone to put it up for 3-5k. It really is not hard if you have the tools and are somewhat carpentry minded.....I'm not! LOL

I bet there are some Amish builders down that way that make similar things.

Yes indeed even if it shortens my life lol. George I never thought about the Amish dudes building one for me but there are many around my area. Thanks for that tip and that building will be awesome!!!!
 
Awesome project, I love it!
 
Dodged a HUGE bullet yesterday afternoon! We had rain most of the day, but a nasty storm just missed us. My friend that is putting up the barn called and asked me if the barn was still standing. A microburst hit about 10 miles south of me and the whole town was a mini war zone. Not quite as bad as a tornado, but more widespread, this microburst snapped trees and telephone poles all through town. It was such a mess they had to shut the power down to the whole town. They'll be out of power for a few days.

We got lucky!

Wow thank god you were spared. It would have ruined your trees too. Someone is looking out for you George. Alleluia!!!!
 
These recent storms are crazy. 3 to 5 inches of rain, high winds - enough to bring large trees down, blow roofs off house and barns, and knock out power to a batch of areas. Some weather reports call for snow on the backside of this low pressure system as it pulls colder air down from Canada. Western N.Y. state and N.W. Pa. may get some snow out of it. :emoji_frowning2:

Glad your barn is still up, Maya !! It's looking good.
 
Ya, we're supposed to get snow in the mountains Mon/Tues........SMH
 
Nice looking post and beam. I'll have to come down to Florence with a bottle or two of my latest batch of hard cider to celebrate.
 
Common down Bill! Almost done. I need to get the overhang in the front on, build the dock on the end and get a few more battens on. It's all buttoned up though and we started moving apple stuff in. Feels good!

Yes I believe it with this crappy weather we have been having on the east coast. I never saw apple blossoms last so long also. Been waiting for petal fall to thin and spray for pc if they are alive yet lol
 
Your Cider Barn turned out awesome. Very cool project that I am sure will give you countless hours of enjoyment using it. Nicely done.
