BARN! and NEW PORCH!

[Carol Dee]

I Love the used tin look and the salvaged green trim. No need to paint it.

I second Carol Dee, I like the green trim. Your gray door looks good, good choice of color. (but I prefer barn red, even with dust on it )

Today we painted the Feed and tack room doors. Inside and out on one, just the outside on the other. We went to Lowes yesterday and got paint. It is gray with just a touch of blue tint.

How does it look next to the old tin?

I painted one side and edges of the door latch pieces. @Collector I decided it would look bad with new wood against the painted door, so I painted them.

Husband says we should paint the green corner trim so it will match the doors and old tin. I like the used-scrap-look of the green corner trim.

What do y’all think? Green or paint it? Alex where are you when I need you?

i like it as it is too. as if you paint the trim then you'll end up wanting to paint the metal too... IMO...

THAT WOULD be @ninnymary 's paint color choice!!

Imagine how beautiful it would look surrounded by zinnias!

I finally went back to the barn to work on the door latch. I had a LOT of help from a well qualified Snoopervisor.

​

Whatcha’ doin’?

​

Surely you don’t think you can do this without ME!

​

Are you ignoring me?

​

Stop messing with those stupid power tools and pay attention to ME and ONLY ME!

​

I did get one door latch made due to all the expert help I had. I need to sand down the sliding bolt so it will slide. LOL I’ll borrow Robert’s belt sander and make it work.

I think the snooperintendant was wondering where your protective gear was lol

@baymule your Snoopevisor looked VERY helpful.... NOT

So which one was this? See you have a long sleeve shirt on, must be cold there?

That is Prince, he is a VERY personable horse. He can be a PIA but he sure makes me laugh.
