Richard's Funky Fire Truck

Is this a weekend retreat or will you be getting rid of the red white and blue plates?

It's a weekend retreat. I see myself retiring in Maine, but thats quite a long ways off.

I thought about switching some plates, but so far I have not found an insurance company that could make it worth my while to only switch the trucks. I don't have much time at the moment to bother with it. Also, from what I hear, getting a sticker on a modified truck in Mass is easier than Maine, because the Maine guys know these old trucks more and are more adept at finding issues.
 
What is the barn for? Those are some serious beams. Don't think I've seen that style of architecture in a barn new enough to have OSB on the walls. :thinking:


The barn is for chevys. It's timber frame construction. They do pine board around the framing and then use structural insulated panels for insulation. The exterior will be pine boarded after windows go in. It will end up looking like a barn on the inside and out and the panels will be hidden.
 
My wife's family has a place in Errol, nh and I go to a friends place in Waterford a lot. I'll keep you in mind next time I'm up that way. I might need a tow or an adult beverage.

I can definitely provide both of those things, although typically I'm busy getting myself stuck. My place is in Greenwood.

I saw the inside was boarded, I was wondering why they bothered sheathing it twice (3 times?).

It looks a lot like the old barns that I grew up with. I just haven't seen one newly made. :thumb:

Sounds like this one will be much warmer. :)

I think some folks just run the SIPs and drywall the inside, but I wanted the barn look. All the interior boards are circular sawn which adds a little bit too.
 
Wow I don't know how you deal with the cold with no doors! More man than I am! And nice rigs and barn! Some beautiful country up there..
