To answer the question, "Why were barns traditionally painted red ?" Early farmers painted their barns with a protective coating of linseed oil made from flax. Linseed oil served as a wood sealant to keep mold, fungi and mildew from leaching into the wood that would turn the wood grey - called "weathering". Linseed oil would also prolong the life of the wood twice or more years than unpainted wood; however, the linseed oil would turn the wood a reddidh-orange color, so the farmers would mix in ferrous oxide they scraped from metal tools and objects around the farm. We still have a lot of ferrous oxide everywhere - it's what we know as rust which gave the red color to the wood. Sometimes, early farmers, who could not afford tractors or mechanical equipment, who slaughtered their own beef and pork were known to mix in blood with the linseed oil which gave the wood a deep rich red color.

Ok, you asked... I love the white. Even though the trim is better in grey, to match the house, the black is fine for giving the lizards a place to warm up on in the morning. The REAL test is to let the GOATS decide!!! Ask them which color TASTES better, and go with the other one..... Lol It's all looking great Captain. Cheers!

Mike , just slow down buddy, first off , your barn is looking really great, second: we understand, you have yourself spread out very thin, as you have many projects that your trying to get done, plus you have your job, just calm down, take a breath, first take care of your family, they need you, then your real job, then just work on the project you can afford to do first and that is most important. Then when you have time , just move on to the next, before you know, they will all be done. But Always, your Family first, then your Job, the others can wait!! We aren’t going anywhere, if some viewers don’t want to hang around , it’s ok, their the one’s missing out, just be happy and stay focused, have a great one my friend 😎😎👍👍👍👍🍮🍮🍮☀️☀️☀️

I like to have the primer tinted gray, like you said Mike primer is inexpensive. One coat primer, one coat paint. A good, cheap airless sprayer, go with Graco. Big box stores carry replacement parts and easy to use. I have found that back rolling is important to scrub the paint into the wood. One note on sprayer, you are limited to 25 feet of hose. The longer the hose the more expensive! Great job so far!

I'm 67 years old and I've been using circular saws most of them and I've never seen one used sideways to cut out a slot in a board to install it over a hinge or other hardware instead of a Router and Chisel or Drill Bit and Saber saw. I guess an old dog like me can learn new tricks. Then there's your nifty makeshift circular saw saw guide trick I have used. That poop factory/ chicken coop / goat barn is really looking awesome young Man. Keep up the good work. Ooh, over the chicken roost you might want to install one of those ball type hot air sinning exhausts to keep the heat down on hot summer days with a fine mesh covered frame over it to keep out varmints. Otherwise your chickens will get overheated and may either die or stop laying eggs. I had a friend not listen to me when I mentioned it to him and he lost half his hens and the rest quit laying. Finally he listened and installed one and no more dead chickens plus they started laying again. Here in deep south Florida where Rick ( he was my best friend growing up in Michigan) had a fruit tree / ornamental plants nursery farm as he was a landscaper )in the Southwest Miami-Dade County area known as the Redlands farm area and it was his Cuban father in law who wanted chickens for fresh eggs and chicken to eat. I don't know if it gets that hot in the summer where you live but it can't hurt to be sure. In the winter you have to put a screwed down insulated wood box over it to actually keep the heat in. You'll be surprised how much heat a chicken roost can build up.

Great choice on using a Roller ... Airless sprayers are more convenient but the Roller gives better/longer adhesion as it "hydraulics" the paint into the pores of the Wood. As for "Red Barn" coloring ... goes way, way back: "New England settlers didn't have enough money to paint their farms. So they needed a cheap way to protect the barns' wood. They mixed skimmed milk, lime, and red iron oxide to make a red, plastic-like coating. The coating protected the wood from Fungi and Mosses that tend to rot the Wood and kept barns warmer in the winter."

For a sprayer, the cheapest that will last as long as you need will be appx $150. Wagner airless with a pressurized hose and an appx 1/2 gallon "hopper" As anything less might do that small barn but they are nearly impossible to clean well enough to be reusable after you let it sit between paint jobs. Especially avoid the Harbor Freight appx $20 one. Many latex paints are thick enough to plug it instantly.

Use a pipe,rope, pulley and an old window weight for a door closer. The weight goes up the pipe when you open the door and slides down to close the door automatically once you let go. Add weights or cut them for your desired speed/force. Works great. Can also do the same with a cable and garage door extension spring. I would conceal the spring in a piece of pipe or pvc also to avoid getting pinched.
