your hoa will answer this question for you

What’s the HOA situation? Def go with red if you can.
-
I vote for building a new shed from reclaimed *red* barn wood

No HOA. Lib, I don't know how to build stuff.
So so far it looks like barn red is the clear choice. I also want the 2 front doors to have those X's on them (maybe just the bottom half). You know what I mean? Lib, you're good at building stuff, how do I do that?
-
Just nail some wood in an x and paint it white
-
Be sure to buy a 5-gallon bucket of barn paint from Orschelns or TSC to make this authentic.
-
You could also use screws if you want

reversing these two steps is easier imho

There is a Sherwin Williams color called "Red Barn" that I was going to use.

This is the answer

I think you're just bragging about the bad ass red shed you're going to have. You clearly didn't need any assistance.
-
how big of a shed are we talking here?

Yeah, and then he can use it to paint accents in his guest bedroom/bathroom after!
Pro tip for authenticity: for application thin 1 gallon of paint with 1 ice cold can of Busch Light

throw a bench and a rack in there and call it the shred shed
-
Paint the house red like a barn. Then paint the shed the same color as the house. Problem solved.
-

It's pretty good sized. Are you wanting specific feet and stuff because idk? But I would say it's medium to medium/big in size.

I would love that. And hang from the ceiling and do crunches like on Rocky IV. I would get so ripped, and probably grow a sweet beard too. Unfortunately my lawn mower is in the way.
-
how big is medium to medium/big? how many cars could you fit in this thing, if it was completely empty?
-
barn idea: put some fryers in there and host fish fries every friday and saturday night for the neighborhood. fry hush puppies too and serve corn
-
Make sure you put one of those rooster wind thingies on the top after you paint it red.
-
I'll take a photo when I'm done and show you guys. Maybe I'll also take a "before" photo so you can see the difference. It will be like fixer upper.
-
yes need a before pic. also you didn't answer my last question, so put something by the barn to show us (clink)scale.
