Working on the living room walls

In the living room area, Chris has decided to go ahead and start on the walls. He put up wood to cover the studs and then I painted it black. The reason it is painted black is so that the barn wood that will go over it will not show the boards underneath if there are areas that have cracks.

There will be barn wood all along the walls that are not grain bin. 

The front side pre-paint.

Starting to put up some of the pieces of barn wood. 

We are adding a barn hay loft door to the wall that will be able to fold down and into a table. ( we like to have lots of people over all the time so it will be used often!) The barn wood came from a barn we tore down about a year ago. All the tin that will go on the ceiling also came from the same barn. The cost of all that we took from that barn cleanup was $500.

Today a new dumpster was delivered....by my youngest son :)

Maybe this will be the last one!!!
