Some of the older siding on the almost-a-barn is crumbling so i'm putting some patches on it. I hate to cover the texture of the old wood so i took more pictures, i know I've done this before. What draws us to old faded blue jeans and tumbled down barns?
I remember it well when you first posted a picture of it. It is an image that has stayed in my mind. I don't know why some things just make such lasting impressions on us, and that one sure did. Is that the poison ivy that was there in the first picture? Is it still growing there or is this a new plant/vine?
No, those are both a couple of fallen leafs from the walnut tree that looms above. I thought that poison ivy vine would come back but you can just see the dead stems where it grew before.
No it seems to have warped out and not much to hold it. I'm using what they call CDX siding with a sort of faux barn siding finish on it. It's made of chips of and glue, very water proof and lasts a long time. Though the "character" of it is manufactured and uniform.
People in home decorating magazines love to line their interior walls with old barn siding. I don't know when that became fashionable, but I like it myself.

I know you've got to be very careful how you restore things if you want them to retain their 'oldness'.
