Recently we had a new roof put on our barrn, after some debate on what to do with the old roof metal from taking it to the Scrap recycler for cash to giving it away and then it dawned us to use it instead of plywood to finish out the inside on the barn bay..
So, here it is going up on the inside of the barn..and yes, the use of that ladder scares me to death!

Insulation went down first and then metal..

We are saving sooo much money repurposing this metal for this use, and its termite proof!!!

Thanks for all your kind words!! Here is a picture of the finished wall..hubby has talked about painting it but while not perfect and shows some wear and tear, I like the rustic look, its just in the barn after all!
