salvaged a bunch of windows from the jobs and since they were cheaper than T-111 or siding and let lots of light in.... besides one of teh piles taking up space was the left over tongue and groove barn board so I'm tryng to use all that up for the filler. Hell I even salvaged most of the nails.. lol

Not bad,thats a quite a project there.Luckily you have Bob Vila and Norm Abram to help you,so I think everything should come out just fine.

lol pretty cold in there today.. I was going to go up and put some more boards up. I jumped online dialed up the weatherchannel site and the bullet at the top of the page said "15 degrees.. feels like -1" all of a sudden my motivation dissapeared.

Then the wind came up and if it hadn't been for a instant message from Bill asking me why he couldn't get his truck started I probably wouldn't have gone out at all.

He said he left the key in the switch and ignition on yesterday after we did his brakes. I said that'll do it. lol his charger wasn't putting a dent back in the battery.. There was so much corrosion between the terminals and the straps charge wouldn't go back in there.

I will try and get some of my project photos on here.I bought my house in 96 and gutted the whole front half.Down to the floor joists and studs.Did pretty much everything myself.Except the elect and plumbing.Had it completly re-wired and re-plumbed.9 months and 20 grand later it was done.First 6 months with no kitchen.Good excuse to BBQ and order pizza's a lot though.

It got up to 6 degrees today, but the sun has gone down and it's starting to cool off. If I had that barn, I'd have the windows shut, even if the walls weren't finished. wis2no
