But you probably guessed that from the first picture.
More specifically it was 16 foot long boards that weighed a ton and had to be dragged out of the big barn and across the lawn with yours truly trying my best not to drop them on her toes.
Of course it would have been too easy if they’d fit in the 16 foot long spaces. Where’s the fun in that? No… each one had to be measured and cut around the wonky interior frame.
After tar paper was laid out.
Why tar paper? Because the husband wanted a moisture barrier… but more importantly, because he already had two ancient rolls buried in the garage.
What was holding down the tar paper as we attempted to fit the boards you ask?
Absolutely nothing.
Good times.
Was it hot?
A mere 92 degrees in the shade.
Vintage tools and make shift tables?
Check.
Did he have enough boards?
Not really.
Were they all the same width?
Of course not.
Did he care?
I seriously doubt it.
River's world..... 
More stuff being USED instead of STORED. Yay you!

This is true. Although most of it was under the big barn and already out of sight…

Hmmm. Sure is easy to criticize the umpire from the bleachers. I think the floor is coming along just peachy, and he is re-purposing other stuff to save a few bucks.

I’m never in the bleachers, but right there in the dirt alongside him. I do however pause for photos to share with loyal readers.

I am wrapping my shed in tarpaper instead of tyvek, because I had a 150′ roll left over and I’m tire of looking at it. It works fine.

They are called ‘sleepers. You put the floor on the sleepers. The sleepers keep the floor off the ground.

Your hubs is really trying hard to make that baby barn important enough that you don’t want to demolish it completely.

Love. The end result will be awesome. And, great news he’s using existing tar paper. Mine would have researched, then declared unfit, researched some more, then shopped for newly improved. 😏
