Doug and our contractor Scott (with a little help from the rest of us) have been transforming our barn into a game room since March. They still aren't finished, but it's coming along great!
They cut a walkway between the two sections
Coleman helping Doug
We showed Cam the barn and Doug put the kids to work for a bit :)
Jordan putting up insulation
Scott had the great idea to put french doors in the openings where the sliding doors are. They would help insulate the room, but with keeping the sliding doors too, it would preserve the barn look.
They put a new door here too.
Doug put a minisplit in to heat and cool the barn
The kids dug a hole so Doug and my dad could work on the plumbing. It took a long time until Kenzie got us a pick axe from Walmart.
Coleman has done a lot of sanding!
We built the sink!
My dad came to help on the plumbing
Still digging the trench!
We put up the ceiling. Doug and Scott did a lot of it, but the kids and I helped with a few sections.
Filling in the trench.
The walls and ceiling fully insulated!
Doug got a water fountain from Buywander. He and my dad got the plumbing all hooked up and installed the fountain. Doug later put a filter in it so the water would taste good and not metallic.
The walls going up!
The french doors!
Doug primed and painted the bathroom. He and Scott installed the floor.
Doug and Scott filled in the triangular wall of the loft.
Doug hooked up the sink
Getting ready to paint all the walls!
Kenzie and Coleman primed this outside wall.
Coleman helping prime the inside wall.
The Crabtrees and my mom came over to paint the last day. Konrad, Kenzie, and Cam finishing up the loft. Kenzie and Cam worked most of the time.
Grandpa and Grandma. Grandpa didn't know we were painting so he arrived when we were almost done.
Doug and Ashlee working in the loft
We did a great job!
Doug working on the last part of the ceiling.
Coleman has had the most flexible schedule so he has been helping a lot!
Scott and Doug starting putting up the board and batten wall and framed the window and doors.
We painted all the wood for the board and batten
Colemand and I always look like this when we finish painting. Doug, Jordan, and Kenzie always look fairly clean.
