Moved out to the Barn
« on: August 27, 2010, 21:09:58 »
Hello

You might remember me complaining about being evicted by my wife from the office. Well I had to find a new place and I decided on a barn we have in the middle of the property. Its an old 2 story barn and I have already moved the western stuff out a while ago. I just had some time last week to build some shelfs upstairs. Here are some pictures.

This is the top 8' X 8' shelf in the semi middle 


This is looking down the south side wall looking east


This is the same south wall but to the west-end


This is an 8' X 8' area for taking pictures w/background paper. here we got all the Egyptians and Romans out for a battle/picture event


This is the north wall looking west. This is where all the stecks were piled


same north wall but looking east


This shows the 8'X8' shelf in the middle with ships on top, Victorian in the middle and there will be a 4 plane airport on the floor.


so much more work to do upstairs and down  8}

It is becoming my favorite place as well, especially when we will start taking pictures again. Two of our boys still like to find less crowded areas to really get creative

 Down stairs in an area made up of tables. The kids built an area below the tables where there is currently a war going on .

They really do have an interesting time. I have them using the BBgun to shoot old full wine bottles so we can recycle the glass and then they come in here and play out history with toys. The space is a bit dirty with dust and bugs so it is a bit annoying. I think I will hang building wrap on the walls to keep the wind out.

We still have a lot of work to do so it will get better. The circus will be really a fun place as the train goes wizing past

Every square inch of that barn will be covered in Playmobil before long, and you’re going to be building extensions and add-ons just to house extensions and add ons… Been there and done that I have…
But since done is done, ¿would you listen to some bad but well meant advice? Many years ago I had pretty much all my toys in a barn. Then one night it caught fire. The water to the barn didn’t work and there wasn’t sprinklers. Had we installed sprinklers and working water, the building would have been saved AND the contents, less a little water related discoloration, would have been none the worse for wear.
