I'm definitely experiencing "barn envy"
@Pearce Pastures
What are the dimensions ?
Did you order a package and build yourself or did you just buy a turn key job?

Thanks. It is coming along. We have had a busy few weeks with moving things and making a few tweaks but I am hopeful to will all be done by the end of this weekend.
The barn is 30x56 and we ordered the materials through Menards but did the truss design a bit more substantial that what they offered in a package. The construction was done by the person doing our home this spring (it required a crane for setting the trusses and the county is really fussy about code so it was worth it to have him do it and the cost was not at all bad---way way less expensive than any company around here).
Back in a bit with interior photos....

The garage door is up but I don't have a pic yet. DH is off today and is putting up door to the chicken coops, then building the goat pen on the other side.
Each chicken coop will have its own sliding door to a covered run outside. We are having electric run to the property soon so we will hopefully be able to put up outlets and lights before we are buried in snow.
The goat pen will have a built in hay feeder that we can load from outside the pen along with a feed chute so we can do chores more easily. DH is also making me a walled off, insulated kid room, with a creep door into the main part of the goat pen, so in the cold season, we have a place that we can keep babies warmer.

I need to order in some sand fill too to raise the floors up a bit in the pens.

I love my rolling hills but I envy you your flat land when it comes time to building structures. That really looks nice.

I bet that makes it hard. That and folks who have rocky soil. We may have freezing cold here and erratic weather, but the soil is sandy, level, and drains well. When we build our new home in the spring, we do have to bring in some dirt to build up a bit because the water table it is high but overall, we are fairly fortunate to have an easy build.
