Ok - rural Pelican OT braintrust - this city slicker has a question.
We built a barn up in the country years ago - but it has always had a dirt floor. The foundation is poured concrete (below the frost line) and two rows of concrete block. 2 X framing, rough cut board and batton siding and steel roof. Dark and damp in there..
Now that Dad is getting older (and needs a place to hide from Mom), I want to add some lights, build a work-bench and improve the floor.
What are the best floor options? Mostly it is tractors and stuff. I think a concrete floor would be too expensive. How about crushed stone? It is a wet area (up-state NY), is it possible to add a vapor barrier? How thick does in need to be? Will stone pack down or stay loose?
Thanks.
