Anybody out there have a barn or shed that is a RED metal building? Tony's fixin' to have a building built at the farm because he's buying a tractor. We want RED metal (I'd rather have a wood barn, but the pasture fire we had last year scared us a little) but we have heard that the RED oxidizes after a few years and starts lookin' chalky. One manufacturer told him that their red doesn't fade, but all the other ones have only a 3-5 year guarantee.Does anyone have any personal experience with this??? I'd love to hear --- if it fades, we'd do another color, but we'd really like red. I hate to have some ole ugly color shed out on my farm, but oh well.... maybe a light yellowish with dark green roof? I just don't know...
I have to go to the farm this afternoon. We had some strong thunderstorms move through last night and possibly more this evening and my corn is FLAT on the ground. I have to go stand it back up. We've had to do this in the past and it usually works okay. Thank goodness I don't have a whole pasture of it! Tony was out there last night during the storm and he said there were limbs on the ground and some of the other garden plants look a little battered. But, hey, that just goes with it I guess. I shan't fret.
I will be making pickles tonight. Stay tuned because I'm going to do a tutorial and take you through the process. Once, again, it's Mamaw's recipe and man is it great! I'm so glad I learned some stuff from my grandmothers before they were gone!
Lemme know about thuh rayed color thang, ya'll!
