My Cub House Restoration
 

I consider myself very lucky! In 2013 I was able to purchase my childhood home. Unfortunately, the home and barn had deteriorated and needed some attention. My father built the pole barn in 1973 and used it to store stuff and to hobby with Jeeps, IH Cubs and, of course, IH built Cub Cadets. I spent many hours watching and listening to him tell me all about how this stuff works. Dad passed in 2002 but his passion had become my mine and continues. I remember the countless hours listening and learning about stuff in that old barn. I could not let just fall down...I checked it out...found out it was structurally very sound So after much money and time, the barn has new siding, concrete floor and spray foam insulation. Here are some pics!

Spending More Money
 

New concrete floor....18 yds! Smooth like glass surface

Checkbook getting thinner!
 

Spray foam insulation. 2" walls 5" ceiling. Really stiffened sheet metal.

Nice place for the cubs,but as always it looks too small.
Is it 30x30?

New garage doors to complete the exterior. Some landscaping after down spout drains are completed. :beerchug:

It is 30x40. I wish it were three times the size..but the neighbors might think I am Cub Cadet obsessed!

looks good, where u gonna put the bar?

Thanks...The beer fridge is going next to the work bench!

Very nice toy box.:beerchug:
And it's great that you preserved a piece of your past. :ThumbsUp:

Hello, nice job on the family rehab. How did you keep the foam off that shiny floor when it was sprayed? Mike
