Glad the winds have died down and some more work has been done. Must be a relief.
We're still checking out barn styles here, and trying to figure out where we're going to get the money to get started! BTW this is Connie aka discoveregg :frow

That is going to be a fabulous barn. You need a little office/warm up room/spit and whittle clubroom in there somewhere. Of course you put grubby old furniture in it, maybe a wood stove, have a desk in there, etc. It's a HIDE-OUT room. LOL.

Congratulations on your new barn. Cannot have too much money or too many barns.

Looks great. I"ve been following your posts with a mix of envy and entertainment. Would really like to see a photo tour of the inside, the different stalls/pens, etc., when its finished.

The barn is finished except for the big overhead door that will go in next Tuesday hopefully. I still have some interior pen divisions to do before I can move the chickens and turkeys but hopefully we'll have everything done and everyone moved by next Saturday.. We did get the pigs moved out of the backyard today... Should have had a camcorder going for that... The kids will definitely have something to talk about on school Monday!! I'm so relieved to not be in violation of zoning anymore :hide A renegade rooster is one thing... try having 6 pigs in your backyard without anyone finding out.... :gig

Here's a few pictures of the outside, I'll post more of the inside throughout this week as we get sections finished and animals moved.

Yayy! It's beautiful. :thumbsup

If you don't mind me asking, how big is the barn and how much did it cost to construct? (You don't have to answer the second question if you don't want to.)

It's 36 x 60 and will be close to 35k by the time I get the inside finished... it ended up being about 10 more than I planned 1/2 because we hit lava and had to revise the "foundation" and then we ended up having them finish the trusses, stairs and floor upstairs... I'll post pictures of that tomorrow.
