north of 60 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Was typing when you added that... is white oak readily available where you are ? Should be a strong beam...and sorry, but don’t recognize the make of the saw on your mill.. I see another orange one in one pic... a Husky ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TP from Central PA Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 We worked on ours here all weekend, other than painting it's in good shape for once. Even cleaned all the windows! Do you need any used motor oil to "preserve" the new beam? Â Will need to eat your Wheaties to get that in place! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exSW Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 Doors rehung ,track straightened and anchored,beam in and floor tied into beam. Next sill beam to the right,excavation and stone relaid. Probably mill up lumber for new doors and siding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exSW Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 3/4" plyscore. Smoothes out the extremely cupped floorboards. No wait I see what you mean. Those are removeable doors to get a hay elevator to the overhang hayloft. If I remember right we could get 300 bale up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
