Progress has been slow on the Pallet Barn. The summer slipped away with little warning. In August we were able to finish up all the framing and start on the roof (you can see it if you look closely). We started to install the drip edge but found it will be easier to do once the siding is installed so please bear with the incomplete appearance of the roof edge.
There is something very compelling about this elevation, it is so pure and simple.
The interior was really something to see at this stage. The filtered light and rustic feel of the pallets was so soothing even in the scorching summer sun.
In October we were able to get a hold of some siding compliments of my bro Scott. We struggled between the clear and the milky fiberglass siding. Security is obviously an issue given the remote nature of the land and we will keep moderately valuable items in here so we wanted to make certain we were not advertising our goods for all to take. So we initially opted for the milky but once we had a few pieces installed we determined that the front and other end we will go with the clear. The clear will allow us to read the pallet structure while still giving us the protection we need. It is a bit more expensive but should be worth it.
We also built some overhangs over each of the doors to give a bit more protection to the opening when open.
In the weekends between the roof and siding we built two lofts to accommodate all the extra building materials we have lying around. We quickly utilized them in order to clean up the property. You can see what the milky siding looks like from the inside.
Hopefully come early spring we will wrap up the siding and get the doors on. Like all the projects money has been the driving force of progress on this one. As always we will keep you posted on the progress. In the winter months I hope to get in the cabin and get some more interior work done.

And your design is very simplistic & relatively easy. It's been over a year now. Is it done? Also, reading your choice of siding, one option that occurs to me is to have used the milky on the lower 2/3 of the walls, then the clear on the rest of the walls and roof. Privacy & light. Anyway, I look forward to seeing the finished project. |
