I'm new here, my first comment in fact. I just wanted to say I like what you've done so far and it's going to be really fun to follow your progress because we are about to do the same thing (Derksen cabin - finish it with salvaged materials). I agree with all the above and would add I like the tin too, we're planning to use it as wainscotting in ours. Mine's all rusty but I kinda like it that way.

Thanks for the encouragement. The floor boards are 1'x8' x1" thick pine boards. They are around $10 a piece but I got about half off them from a friend who had them leftover from a project. This was my only "splurge". Still cheaper than hardwood flooring but looks almost as nice. I just applied a free can of stain I found and im very pleased with how it turned out. You could use rough sawn lumber and save quite a bit of money but you'd probably have to sand the surface.
I like the rusty tin too. Especially if you clear coat it. I originally was only gonna use it as stove backing but decided to wrap it around because of the effect. Asthetically, it helps separate the "kitchen and stove" area from the "livind area".

I have more pics under the heading " 12x24 derksen shed barn pics" if interested. I also included some tips for how to save a little money with these buildings as well as answers to some of the questions that I had before I started this project. If I can help answer any questions for someone thinkin about converting one of these buildings into a cabin, feel free to ask.
