I forgot to post an outside photo. It’s a small barn and workshop, but it’s one cement block higher than standard and has a very tall attic. There is a lean to wood shed attached on the left side partially hidden by the trees. I built it myself, took years. First year I had a friend with heavy equipment prepare the site. Next year I had the cement pored and did the blocks. The next year I framed the downstairs. I bought paint from a paint store that went out of business. 6 gallons of white, two quarts of black, one pint of red and a half pint of yellow. It was mixed in a big plastic basket tub and pored back. I bought what they had. Every payday I bought two sheets of siding an painted with 3 coats of primer and two top coats. I’d hang them. Then it was another payday. I found a used door in the trash. The next year I had attic trusses made and delivered. It took another year to put them up and put on roll roofing. Five years later the roof was shingled. I think it would gave been cheaper to pay to have it built all at once as inflation kept the prices going up over the many years.The back of the barn. Notice the cable for my electric hoist that lifts the bikes into the loft/attic. This bike has the frame roped ready for lifting.
