Mauston Farmers Co-op feed mill

[ak-milw]

I will be attempting to build The Mauston Farmers Co-op feed mill. The building looked pretty much like this in the 1950's, the period I am modeling. The only big change is the loading bin on the left wasn't there, instead a siding went through. This building was torn down last year.

Thanks guy's for following along, now if I can do it justice.

My plan is the structure will be built by making simple boxes glued together. I will be using 1/16 thick basswood sheet for the boxes and braced with 3/16 square strips. After I have all the boxes glued together I will be using Rusty Stumps corrugated metal on the walls and Tichy windows and doors.
The main walls are cut out, now to get the window openings in and get them glued up.

That looks bombproof Andy, you can never have too much bracing.  This will be an imposing structure.
