Everyone I know uses barnwood.
Get it? "barnwood" He's building a barn so I said "barnwood". He's building a barn and he wants to know what wood to...use...and, well...ah, forgit it.
*rich.. i don't think u oughtta stay up past ur bedtime no more...if u can keep the opening to 8x8 u can use T-1-11 and trim it with pine.. back prime and end prime everything....
*What kind of barn doors? .....ditto Mike's comments on painting. Most barns I've worked on have some sort of overhang over the door ....think that is part of the secret to long life .....directing the water away from the door.
