Based on line one, which I assume is 1 gallon of white lead paint, I'd wear a mask when prepping.So this is a building my great grandpa built and is still standing on the property I'm at. He bought the "kit" as shown on the reciept and the rest is trim he added. It's 12x40 w/ 10ft walls, cedar shingle siding, a door and window on the front, a large window on the back and 4 windows on each side. Later it was referred to as his museum building as he filled it with taxidermy, primitives, Indian artifacts and his various collections. Local schools would actually occasionally take field trips to it and he would show them some of the stuff. He would have built this when he was 23. Several years later he went to California for a few years to find work and his brother did him a "favor" and painted it white and the family had been dealing with repainting it regularly ever since. Some day I'd like to redo the siding back to raw cedar shingles but couldn't imagine the cost to do that nowadays. He originally built it about a mile from here, then when they bought this property they moved it here. It comes apart in the middle so they moved each 12x20 half individually then put it back together.
For those of you who saw my paint sprayer thread, this building is the main reason I asked about them. It's due for another paint job and I couldn't imagine doing it by hand with a brush even though that's how it's been done for decades.
There's no real point to this thread, just thought it was cool and that my grandpa still had the receipt from when his dad built it nearly 90 years ago.
