Reclaimed barn wood description
Reclaimed barn wood is wood that has been claimed from old barns that were torn down or restored. The wood is special in that it will have a weathered and worn look to it that gives it an authentic look. This wood will have already been exposed to — and survived — the elements for a very long time.
Reclaimed barn wood benefits
This wood is just the thing for anyone who appreciates using materials with history for the projects around their homes. Another thing about reclaimed barn wood is that it gives you the real deal, so your natural wood flooring won't be new wood that has been aged using unnatural methods, but it will have aged all on its own. It's such a great thing to be able to use reclaimed wood to get a fantastic-looking project in your home, while also knowing that you are completing your project in a way that is also good for the environment. Barn wood is aged and strong, so you can trust that your project will be built for durability. One more thing that's so nice about projects that are made using reclaimed barn wood is that you will be creating projects that will make great conversation starters.
Reclaimed barn wood uses
There is no end to the number of ways that you can put reclaimed barn wood to good use around your home, as well as your property. You can use the wood as the flooring for the inside of your home. You can use it to build a fence around your property. You can use the wood to build a work shed in the backyard. You can build a nice bench or even a picnic table where the family can enjoy nature comfortably and share meals and stories. You can also use it to build wonderful furniture for the inside of your home. If you really want to add a unique touch to your yard, you can even use the wood to build a little bridge in the yard that goes over a small pond or even one that goes over a flowerbed or a part of the garden.

My name is Debbie Greenberg. I’m a single woman who owns her home, and like most homeowners I dread home repairs. I’m not very handy with do-it-yourself projects around the house. I can do a few minor repairs when necessary, but for the most part I have to call in a professional. Last year I had a leak in my roof. When it rained, water would leak into my kitchen. What appeared to be a simple fix turned out to be anything but simple. It took over four months to finally identify the problem, and double the money I was initially quoted to fix it. The problem ended up being that the flat part of my roof didn't have shingles, but a sheeting material. I learned a bit about home roofs along the way, and that is what I want to share with you.
