Building Our Barndominium

Is there going to be any room for a shooting range? You know, like a firing squad. With the price of fuel these days, it could be more economical just to take the rats to your place. 🤠
I'm sure Lisa will understand.🤠

Yep, down back. Any wood not leaving the property is being stacked along the back property line and there is already about a 15' tall wall of wood, so that'll be as good as a berm for safety sake.

Don't need innocent people getting hurt while we clean up a few problems. :cool:
 
Here's the first iteration of the living quarters...... Couple of changes to make, but pretty close. Shop bathroom needs a change to add a deep sink on the outside, kitchen window is the wrong size and a few changes electrically.

Kevin has the trees and we can supply the rope :)

Is this a "Judge?" Or could it be made into a replica ? This car could be 100k when done.

It's a '68 LeMans convertible but has 90% true GTO parts that came from the true numbers GTO my brother had. Since he gave it to me it will be cloned as a GTO but will be a restomod. Has a bored 30 over 455 with a TH400. It could be cloned as a Judge, but I have other plans for it. It does have the true Enduro front bumper, but I'm converting the headlight doors to electric. The final color will be a candy brandywine. When I'm done with it, it'll be sold and on to the next one (my '67 Chevelle), and any other ones that I might find.
 
Talked to my antenna / tower guy as I was going to buy a new tower and antenna for the new place, but when he told me you can't get alot of the tower parts, we decided to take ours with us..... here's my guy climbing my 70' tower to take it down.

We had 3 if the wind blew just right. All green 19 in tv,......if it was working. We missed a good chunk of the early 70s when dad was stretched thin and tv was his last priority.
 
We didn't have a TV for a number of years growing up. Things were tight and food was more important for 4 growing boys. I didn't miss too much, I had plenty to do with cars and motorcycles.
 
Yikes, I'm jealous of that. I have a tale of 2 wells 200' apart & completely different. 110' / 11gpm the other 275' /3gpm

My parents well is 375' and the pump died.... guess who pulled it out by hand? I was 30 when I replaced their pump.... couldn't do that now without equipment. It was a MF.
