One of the biggest problems I'm facing is the lack of a ceiling.
Putting a ceiling in 12.5' in the air with a 42' span and 9'
between trusses is bad enough, but you add to it, all the crap
that I've got in the building and there just taint any way to
get at it. Not to mention the cost. There is a thin blanket
insulation between the top of the trusses at the roof but it
taint really enough to make a difference. My "big old wife"
came out to check up on me last night, (checks up to see if she
can collect on my life insurance) and we were talking about
heat. Surprised me when she suggested that it might help to put
up a few fans to pull the heat off the up stairs, which I of
course had already figured on doing.
With my building as open as it is, it looses it's heat inside
about as fast as it does outside.
The rust isn't anywhere near as bad this year as it was last
year even though last year was a drought and this year was
tropically wet. This time last year I was moving into a barn
that had housed three horses, their feed, hay and bedding for
25years and the building may have held a lot of moisture from
that. Seems to have dried out a bunch this year.
